Another part I was able to get worked out was the flip up hood hardware. I purchased a few brackets with new bolts and washers. The only thing I need to do now is drill out a few holes in the brackets and we are good to go

I think most likely I will utilize a simple gas strut in order to raise and lower the front end. The front end will be held down much of the same way they did with the Spitfires. Two latches on the sides will hold it down but instead of having them on the outside I will locate them inside to the rear of the front wheel wells. This will help with aerodynamics and also keep people from getting into my engine bay

All of these parts can be found on Ebay or locally.
