For those that have followed my build thread you know about my tilt front. I didn't invent it but used a lot of information from others from these forums to refine the application. I have had several inquiries about drawings or help in making the tilt front for their build. There are quite a few fab parts required but none are difficult but a kit of these parts would simplify the process for a lot of builders. The hood hinges and gas struts from the original kit are used in the mechanism and the other parts are unique and would be parts in the Tilt Front Kit. The parts that assemble to the frame are bolt on and no welding is required. The truss used under the body does require welding and is probably the most desired part for the Tilt Front Kit. This truss bolts to the underside of the body using studs fiberglassed to the body.
Perhaps the mechanical components are the easiest part and the fiberglass work is the hardest part. But with a step by step process, that work can be done by someone with a little experience in fiberglassing. But even someone with no experience can accomplish the task if enough information is presented and they have the desire, correct materials, and tools. The fiberglass work is a time consuming process because of cure times and prep work required for the next steps.
I am interested in the number of builders that would want to make a tilt front if a kit was available and a price range that it would support. I'm not interested in producing the parts but the venders reading this may. I welcome the responses and conversation this thread may generate. Perhaps the drawings may have more appeal than the kit parts.
