I had a fiberglass tilt front end on a 1967 Barracuda rece car. What a PITA. Because the fenders roll in at the lower (rocker) area, it takes two people to pull out and then lift to tilt forward. You also have to have a full cage with the front bars tied into the cage as your front end support will be gone. If this is a street car, you may want to rethink the whole idea.

hi wedgie,not a street car,have the front end off now,changing to fiberglass and it real easy to work on the engine with just the inner fender walls.so i was thinking two lane blacktop style front end.my front bars are outside of the inner fender walls.so was it too much of pita?i dont always have a extra set of hands,so?thanks,mark

Hi Mark, check out this link. Hopefully it helps, or search on this site. There's alot of fabricators on this site. Good luck. Eric

This is my 71 Demon drag car with a tilt front end. I bought the car with the tilt front end.

It is a lot easier to work on, and it cools down pretty quick at the track in between rounds. But not everyone likes this look. I myself am on the fence about it, but it does work well.

Mine is all steel and it rotates on the bumper bolts, really easy, I can put it up myself. I just wished they wouldn't have cut the fenders the way they did.
