Please do not give him any more ideas!

 

if the hood and fenders tilted forward as a unit...talk about great access to the engine. Cleaning it would be a breeze, along with other chores.

 

That would be cool, just like on a semi truck.

 

What about center hinged like the old Morgans, you know, cut the hood in half front to back, then mount a center bar with the hinges.
this will give access to the left or right side independently.
Now the belt across the whole hood and you're done!
