1965 Dodge Dart Charger

Ok,after a tricky glass beading hour the first hood spring is in place. It sure take some time to get them ready. I had to dig through my hole stash of springs until I found ones with pattern on the inner ring. Usually they stuck and that's why the opening of the hood is not going so well. I guess it's thelack of grease. Wonder why car owners didn´t followed the instruction manual so this didn't happen?
