[BaadAssGremlins] Hood spring whoa's and @%^%$!!!!

["Bill Renshaw" <lionwren@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Went up and put the door tumbler back into my Hornet yesterday. I 
didnt do alot because it was snowing like a cow doin' its thing on a 
flat rock. But the key does fit the ignition and it turns like it 
should! GREAT TIP THERE DOC!! THANKS A BUNCH!! I did find an AMC rim 
for it to replace the trashed one and I got some good tires on it. 
NOW, I have a problem with the hood. It seems to me that the hood 
springs are rather "tight" to say the least. To get the hood back 
down you have to gently wiggle the hood from side to side to get it 
to come back down. Is it because of the hood hinges are in need of 
some wd-40 or is it because the springs are not just broke in? In all 
of my "running" lookin' for stuff I have seen quite a few AMC's with 
a bent hood, and I would have to kick myself really hard if I bent 
that hood. What can I do to prevent this from happening? I guess I 
could take the hood springs off, but then knowing myself I would 
forget and open the hood and of course it would come crashing down 
and "bonk" my bean bucket! *$%@#$!!! THING!! Then there would be some 
more kickin' myself! LOL! Sunday will be the day I "try" to get this 
car to run. I have to go finish a job that was started last weekend 
and needs to be finished. My so-called "friend" went and burned a few 
bridges this past week. I have known this guy for about 25+ years and 
its really sad what "money" (GREED) will do to a person. Thanks again 
and any responce on the hood issue will greatly be appreciated. Bill
