Hey all,
So I've removed my 1970 grill and bulky corner turn signals, carefully removed the mounting tabs, and I'm test fitting the rhino grill in it's new home.
The hood release latch is sitting in a tricky little place, above a steel plate that runs the full width of the engine bay (shown in blue). It has the mounting hole for the top center of the rhino, but once it's on I can't open the hood any longer because the (blue) plate is now blocking the latch!
Suggestions? Will I be switching to a different style bar and latch, or cutting away part of that (blue) plate? Even after all this, I'm guessing I'll have to use a long thin screwdriver or something to open the hood. I'm kinda stalling out here - maybe if you guys have a photo of your conversions it would help.
