fiberglass hood

hi everyone. I just did this on my 68 Dart with the fiberglass hood. I got a used set from a wrecker and heated the spring until it began to expand.As soon as I saw it begin to expand I stopped the heating process. I checked the tension by feel and if needed reheat. Be careful not to overheat the spring. The heating process doesn't take long so keep your eyes on task. The clips are available at any auto parts store.
