gas struts for Duster hood
just my 2C,, If its like my barracuda hood,your going to spend alot in bondo and man hours//might be better off with another hood//the weight of the bondo ,underhood heat of a "A" body,leverage on a weak hood and the flexing is a recipe for being really unhappy when the bondo lets loose and takes out your windshield.....
and your paint job,, oh yeah the hinges. well oiled hinges work well with a stock hood /save the money on the struts/fabrication and get another hood...
