Technical Whats the best/ safest way to remove this hood?

I made a set similar for my 51 but just used a piece of 2" angle and welded plates on the ends - open on 2 sides makes it a lot easier to install. Once in place I put a couple of hose clamps around them and the spring to keep everything in plac

If you have the nose open like you say, you can certainly pull the motor and ****** out without pulling the hood. Just prop the hood as high as you can and try pulling them. The engine just needs to come up enough to p*** the mounts and then you pull it all forward. I would try it before I were to remove the hood. What do you have to loose? Like I said, I did it with my 52. There is no way these cars were designed to remove a hood every time a motor had to come out.
