Fiberglass hoods shocks

If you've got the Hood attached and hinges in place, It should be a very doable project to install some Hood Struts. I would use a pair of Good European Struts like for a VW Jetta which uses only one strut and will last at least 12 years. Whatever car you have access to will work best as you can take measurements. That way you can design it to have the proper range of motion.
