Dad’s 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340

Tonight I worked on the trunk hinges. Long story short, either the metal that interfaces with the torsion rods is worn out or I’m too stupid to make it work. Either way, I’m going with gas struts. I measured out where the brackets will go, and modified the hinge arms. I plug welded the 3 holes and bead welded the edge Tomorrow I will get the other end welded in and strut installed.
