Hey guys. My bronco has got a fiberglass body with a one piece front end (hood, fenders, a grill). I am looking for some suggestions and pictures of hinges to make the front end tilt forward. Thanks for the help.

What holds the front end on now? You might want to skip the fold foreward part as this will interfere with bumpers, lights, winches, etc. Id just make it lift off.

It is lift off now, but the problem with that is that I cannot lift it off by myself. So if I want to do any work under the hood I first have to find someone to help my take the hood off. It's like my engine is locked in a vault.

Ya i was guessen that why you want a tilt forward. Also being able to get at the engine area by yourself would be nice in case of emergency...having to unhook battery or put out fire.

I had just seen some pictures of a few with it tilting forward and thought it looked good. I have considered tilting it back but am pretty sure that I want it to go forward. I was thinking about having the front bumper tilt with it.
