Jerks, and its a joke I hate hevys,
But since none has any fabracation imagination, ill share my plan I'm gona cut the lip off of the hood and the substructure gold three skin down and tack it down to the sub structure and box it in so it will fall and sit flush with the grille like any other vehicle, and make brakets to mount the grille to the coresupport and bumper

Wow. No fabrication imagination? .......never saw that coming with my years in engineering management...but you are probably right there, young pup!
And when the front edge of that hood gets floppy running down the raod there, let us know how it works out! Sometimes an edge is bent on sheet metal for strength......OK...most of the time.....

I did it on my Dakota, I love it but I never thought about doing it on my Ram. The grill tilts out so you can open and close the hood...As others have said, leaning over the grill on a full sized truck would be bitch.

Looks like more hardware under there than a Freightliner! Looks great!
