I haven't been around very many 67 X's but don't remember seeing those scoops with a leading edge. I even looked at my pic of a factory sales brochure to try and get a good look lol
Been purty busy as of late and haven't had much time to keep up with everything. Nice looking work ya did and was going to ask where you got them but now I don have ta :)
Over all the spring is the same length. It doesn't really matter much that the 'spring' part is an inch shorter since it's made from smaller diameter wire.
Washing machines pretty much come in a standard size but swimming pools can come in all kinds of different sizes and shapes so.....it's not an easy thing to do. :D
I used springs from a local hardware store. I just guesstimated what I needed....
No problem with the hood that I had on my 66 Belvedere sticking up in the back.....also lost the 'popup' spring when I put the glass hood on it. The fast pin is a good idea but didn't want to do that.
Reshaped some ornamental glass using 36 grit but did it by hand and even that created some heat but didn't break it. Used 80 grit next and so on. Lots of time spent on that mess....
Never liked using a slim Jim/hanger stuff but maybe you can get up there through the drain hole in the bottom? I did that once on a car but don't remember what one it was.
I also found out just how much of a tolerance these cars have lol. In the early 80's I had a really nice 70 Challenger 383 4 barrel car and also had a 70 Challenger 440 RT rag top. The vert ran good but the plum crazy paint went crazy and it needed a paint job. Also bought a NOS rear tail trim...
