Re: [FWDLK] Hood spring color

["j l johnson" <johnaire@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi to all and Happy New Year belated.
   The hood springs on my 55 Plymouth, I painted silver and took them off
the hood hinge.  I then made a tool to expand the spring and painted
them.  It worked out great.
   Its good to be back and I'm trying to read all the 206  or so E-mails.
