Hey Ty. I don't think anyone makes a top notch tilt front end for the first gen. Not much call for it these days I would guess. I saw a second gen at a local dealership here and it had a tilt front and it looked really bad. I was really looking at the car, and then the dealer goes "well look what this can do" and I told him whoever did it did a terrible job. He just sort of went on about how unique it was and I just walked out. If you look at your high end cars, none of those have it. I think it was more of a look what I can do 80's style. I think your best bet is too remove the hood if you're going to do anything hardcore in the engine bay. It sounds like the questions you are asking is that you want to build a really sweet car, I just think this would kind of make it a bit silly, even though it might benefit you for working on. I also think you seriously diminish the value of the car by doing that. Don't take what I say as criticism, I'm here learning just like you and thought I would give you my 2 1/2 cents worth.
