Re: new hood springs

had springs on it already old nasty ones. Just took them off and put those on. Used two guys and pulled with a towel was very easy.

Re: new hood springs

And just where perzactly did you get these so called hood springs?

Those look great man - as well as your hole underhood.
I especially like the fitting on your booster.

I may go for some of those instead of my painted to match springs though - as they would break up that area a little.

Re: new hood springs

Got any leads on where to get them at a good price besides him? I don't want to pay an arm and a leg - and I don't really want to do without mine.

According to Tim Christian at a recent car show, the springs are springs
are springs, you can get em anywhere, the hinges on the otherhand

*PS - Looks to clean to drive , I wish mine was that far along

Re: new hood springs

That looks really nice!!!

I've been tempted to put chrome springs on my vehicles but have always wondered how well the chrome would hold up over time with the opening and shutting.
