Tincup's 63 Dart w/5.7 Hemi
Tim, what I learned on the hood and trunk gas springs is it all comes down to geometry. I tried to hide the hood springs, but the geometry was all wrong no matter what the force of the springs were. The trunk I got lucky they worked right the first try. Also the force of the springs is critical to making them lift properly. My only suggestion to you would be to buy your springs from somewhere you can returm them if they don't work. I had 7 different sets on the front before getting it right. Good luck.....
