[Spridgets] Bugeye Bonnet Help

[Mark]

I have this weird problem.  I have a Bugeye that I have had for years, 
it runs and drives great but only gets used a few times a year.  My 
problem is raising the bonnet.  Thanks to a COVID vaccine reaction I 
lost my brachial plexus nerve in my right arm.  So essentially I am 
limited to the use of one arm (left) and one arm isn't enough, for me, 
to raise the Bugeye bonnet.  I can still use my other motor functions to 
shift and drive the car fine.  I am thinking that I need some sort of 
device to attach to the ceiling to lift it up with mechanical assist.  I 
am resisting the temptation to just use a multi part block and tackle 
with a loop around the chrome handle.  My other thought is to tilt it 
forward with a kit form somewhere, I think there are several out there.  
I haven't ever used a forward tilt and not sure how much "lifting" is 
needed?   I can get help when I really need it but would rather be able 
to do it my self on my schedule. Suggestions?
