On my Valiant I just took off the torsion bars to strong for my bolt on fiberglass hood. I use a prop rod for now. @Mopar Tim has a nice gas lift system. I plan on doing but you have to remove the front fender to install it. Nice car!
There is a thread showing how I did it. I have seen several a bodies at shows using my idea. FYI you only need to remove fender to install initially. If you need to replace them just remove the splash shield...
