You are talking a full on tub, not just splitting the factory wells, correct?

Fabed up a hinged prop rod ...put a vacuum cap on the end to keep from scratching....done it in several cars...quick and easy.

Similar on mine. I did it a little different on the hinges. I left them in the stock position and flattened them to clear the tubs.

Might want to think about a set of old NASCAR hood hinges, they are light and lock IIRC. You can find them on EBAY.

Just a thought.
