Hood hinges and springs

Yes you can do that and there is someone on this site that even sells light tension springs for fiberglass hoods. I bought a set 7 or 8 years ago for a race car. The rubber bumpers on the top rail of the fenders should help center the hood, as will a set of hood pins which are a cinch to install on a Demon hood as the witness marks for installation are on every Demon hood. send PM for more information if you need it.
