You guys sound like mini-truckers from the 80's.
Time to take it to a new level of the game, and build a dually with this setup:
Now THAT would have been a kickass SEMA 2010 entry!
Hell...when you stretch the hood and frame, you could make a spot for a beer cooler or even a kegerator up front under the half-hood, and just duct the air under and around it to let it still feed the radiator. Plus, no hassle with turning when fully laid out, because you've chopped the wheel opening into something similar to the picture!
Wanna be even more badass, put the half-hood on actuators so you can open it by remote and watch everyone trip the hell out, but when you raise the engine part of the hood, it all comes up in one piece. C'mon man...if I were a crazy fabricator I'd already be doing it; it's up to y'all to carry the torch. Just give me props on the idea.
