Allan:
I haven't done this myself, but what I have seen is using the locking pins on
the
front to serve as a hinge, unbolting the regular hinges from the bonnet,
securing
those in what would normally be their closed position (not sure how; welded?)
and
hood pins mounted on them which would then hold down the bonnet. A guy by the
name
of Jack Deneen in North Haven, Connecticut built one like this that I saw a
number
of years ago at LRP. I think he still has it. I've seen some done like this at
other shows as well.
