"Joe", thanks a lot; I haven't even tried the deck lid yet. Hopefully, it'll be OK, as I don't remember it being the problem that the hood always was.
BTW, I installed the missing hood springs; as I expected, they don't help with this prticular problem.

yeah,those hood hinges i assume only there to keep the hood aligned during the (clean and jerk). I have to wonder if henry ford ever attempted to lift those hoods. when was the first year he installed helper springs on the hood i wonder. Tom.
