it would look pretty awesome, but a clamshell hood it definatly not an easy task in our cars, you need to relocate the latch and hod catche, the back of the fenders sit hight than the front to accomidate the hood latches, they cnan't just simply be relocated to the front, it's gonna take a whole new hood latch setup.

currently working on it... several late 80's buick models are great resources for cheap parts.
