I almost always put hoods on myself and remove them also. I do like challenger1 put some blankets down and lift the hood so the rear is resting on the hinge and then put the front bolts in and then support the hood with something and do the other bolts. adjust as needed. I don't remove the wheels and a roadrunner hood is pushing it for me.would hate to do a c body I'm old about 6 foot and 230lbs
