It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Uncle Bob comes through!
Now Robert, when you have time we'd love to see some pictures of the Nebraska '40 you're working on!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Bob, have you used any of these before? I'm just wondering how much more stress it puts on the hood when you shut the hood? I will probably have to source new hinges for my car. You have to physically push the RH rear corner of the hood down every time you close the hood. Seems weird to me.

Yeah that rear corner not going fully down is very typical and a sign of worn hinges. If you can find good, original Ford hinges it would be best. Some of the repop ones aren't very good and wear out at the rivets in short order. The ones from Drake seem to be the best, though not sure how he's surviving these days.

The most effort is when getting them started on the downstroke, but that same issue prevails with the original Ford springs too.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
