68 Dart Project.
I used 15” (extended total length) 75Lb struts. The distance from the factory hinge pivot pin to the strut ball is 7”.
I don’t have a finish painted picture. I also made collars with a set screw to lock the hinge on the pin. Hinged type Fibreglass hood and scoop is probably around 26 to 30 lbs. one finger opening and closing.
