SEC hood into 300SD

I can buy cheap hood from SEC with front trim and Euro lights, hood even has the same silver paint as mine so that makes it easier. I was just looking at the way hood is attached to the hinges and I am stumped. How do I remove that? And bigger question how do I mount it back?
Anyone here has experience in the hood replacemant?

I believe the radiator center support and other things have to be modified...I looked into it for my 300SEL, and decided it was too much work...

The entire doghouse is different. Hood, fenders and bumper.

They are a commodity, pull it anyways with the euro lights if the car is in line for the crusher. Where is the car at? Is it a euro model?

i used to have a 500sec and a 350sdl at the same time. i needed a turn signal for the sec and looked at the sdl and found that the sec lense is a half inch or so shorter though they look to be the same.
