I do it all the time, by myself. Its no big deal. My trick is that I put a broomstick between the top of the hood and the radiator core support, to hold it in place. Definitely put something between back of hood and body (newspaper, cardboard, a t-shirt, whatever to protect paint). Unbolt front bolts on each side, then rears. Take is slow, the prop will hold it in place. Grab each side, lift it up on top of the hood hinges, and off it comes. I work solo on everything, so you have to improvise... hoods are easy....other things are not so easy
Good luck
