Alain was removing the hood to gain access to the pedals. The pedals are adjustable on all Draks, and being that
Drakman and I are a little taller (and wider) than the average guy we need the pedals as far forward as possible to generate space. Anyway, Alain took out the 6 holding screws for the hood, and then normally on a Drak the hood pulls straight up without a fight. But, whoever welded on the nuts for the rearview mirrors mounted them too low so the hood catches on them. So, removing the hood requires a little TLC to get it off. If you're in a hurry, you'll break it.
