Hi, FID.  I wrote to TEX DEAN.  Thanks for his e-mail.  Then I heard from his daughter Cristal that TEX has sadly just recently passed away. She and Tex's friend are going to try to answer his e-mails.  She thinks that Tex has used old trampoline springs in the hinges!

There is one spring on each hinge.  They are to help in raising the hood.  There is a rod inside at the front that you raise up to hold up the hood - like a grand piano.

I need the springs (one or both) for the hood hinge for my adorable blue Henry J.  Suggestions for substitutions also welcome.
