Awesome Willie !! That is a very cool mod .

I have the strut , I just need to get some brackets .

[GenevaDirt]

mine are all one piece...the brackets are attached...Ido not think they can come off. I had to drill out one of the holes in the hood a little bit to get them screwed in. I think Frestiva found some that bolted right in with no modification. I got mine of the Tracer I posted pics of....man that was a really nice interior!...lol

[Safety Guy]

Struts from what year Tracer Willie? An early model or the '90 up?

I believe it was an 89....but I would message Freshtiva...he had some that you did not have to do any mods to the hood on I believe.

Thanks!

looking good - they come to a stop kinda hard though

[xanthinic12]

do you have a picture of where the strut connect to the hood, i bought some today and clueless to where they would fit.

[GenevaDirt]

I put the one end in the top bolt hole on the hinge mount....the bottom is in the first bolt for the fender.

They do stop hard...I am sure that I will not be just letting it go....lol. They are off a hatch so they are pretty strong.

[xanthinic12]

how did you make the ballstud fit into the hole?, drill and tap it?

[GenevaDirt]

Yes and no....I did drill but I did not tap...I should have but I got it to grab without it. There are some out ther though that are a direct fit....but I do not know what they are off of.
