Hi all, I am going to replace my stock 2 blade fan with the new aluminum 2 blade one. My brother -in law is going to help me. The car was restored in '09 and only has 1,200 mi. since the restore. My question is the removal of the hood. I think I'll have my wife help me take it off the day before we work on it to save time. Is there a certain method of removing it? Which bolts should I take off first the two front ones by the radiator or the rear ones or doesn't it matter? Second should I lay the hood down on the blanket on end or the way it sits on the car? I'm hoping the job won't take too long and I am also a little worried about tilting the top of the radiator front to make room to get out the fan. This will be the first time I ever did this and I just want to be sure we do it right. thanks, Jim
