Convert torsion hood springs?

Actually I did do a search, but came up empty. Thats why I posted. After I posted I saw this http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=24990 on the bottom of the page under similar threads. I thinking about something like this thread.

I will post up what ever I do

I thought about struts, but i'm thinking that they would be in the way when you have to work on the car.
