well i just looked into it for like 30seconds, and most of the kits are electric, so there would be alot of work in that area. But if you find a kit that is not electrified, you would just mount (and the word "just", is used VERY loosely lol) the hinges and I assume you could mount hood pins somewhere towards the windshield.
I keep envisioning different ways it could be done, and to me it doesnt seem too hard. I would make sure you can envision it, and have access to things like a welder
