Installing hood springs

[hotrodbob]

I'll let ya know.

Let us know how they work.

I'm thinking about replacing my hood springs, since my hood 'sags' a few inches when open (and I'm constantly knockin' my noggin on the hood latch!).

If new springs would get me a couple more inches of clearance I'll consider 'springing' for them...!

LOL, I remember. I use to live near 10th and "I" and worked at LACR for 20 years...

cool, i sure miss the track, that was a messed up deal with granite, they should have donated the track to the city and they would have would looked like a hero instead of a bunch of money mongers! of course frank lane could have stepped in but all he saw was the royalty checks each month. we paid a base royalty to lane each month plus what went over the scales, i have seen checks go out on months that we only sold about 2000 tons and they were 45,000.00 a month! i can only imagine what granite was paying.

I was wondering why Darren was ignoring my suggestion, there is variable ways of doing this task, employing a chain and some leverage( 2X4 piece of wood) or hydraulic tools.....Fred

No, Fred...not ignoring it, but don't have time to work on the car until the weekend. I definately will try out the leverage thing this Saturday and see if I can get these boogers on once and for all.

I put mine on the same way (Rockwood) did it works with ease.

by the way (47heaven) thanks for the info I have a new set of springs ordered.

No problem, Wayne. The good thing is that he has them guarenteed for a year.
