Tincup's 63 Dart w/5.7 Hemi

Hey Tincup,

I was looking at some of the older pics of your build which if I have not said it, is very nice and was wondering a couple of things.

First did the lift cylinders not work on the hood because they had to be moved so far forward to support the hood, did you try to use the lift cylinders that they use for Lambo doors. I would think they would work but have yet to try it. Or is the hinge point on the hood hinges not giving enough support for the cylinders?

Second question I was thinking of changing my trunk lift springs to a hydraulic system is this something you have tried?

I have seen the Camaro set-up were they hooked the cylinder to the bottom of the hinge and it worked of course for something like 500 plus dollars. I was wondering if you have thought of this. No reason to invent the wheel twice, Right?
