You'd also need some sort of mechanism to keep the hood from being driven through the windshield in an accident. My old '77 BMW 320i (which hinged at the front) had pins on the rear of the hood which would slide into catches on the firewall in an accident to lock everything down. So there are some safety issues to consider.
