Cut the side lip pff the hood and build a "shelf" to set the hood on...

Note the ledge along the top of the hood opening and along the back.



Same thing on driver side



Hood sits nice and flat

Dzus fasteners or hood pins. You can hinge a lift off hood if you use gas cylinders instead of heavy stock springs.
