Re: removing hood springs to prevent hood bend

I absolutely would not advise anybody to remove hood hinge springs. I put a fiberglass hood on my 77 and even that thing is way too heavy to not have springs on it. I used light springs made for fiberglass hoods and it feels like stock

If you lube the hinges regularly and push toward the cab as you push down you should never have a problem. Assuming the hood is not rusted out.
