OK, it's time to put the springs back on the hood hinges. It's always a pain in the keester for me, so I'm trying to think of an easy way to do it. I finally came up with this.... I have a bare C20 frame sitting out in front of the shop, so I got to thinking, If I get a small ratchet strap and hook it to one of the holes in the front of the frame and hook one end of the spring in the hole across from it I should be able to stretch the spring enough to get the hinge in place and then release the ratchet strap. It worked great, there was plenty of room to slide the hinge in and release the ratchet. I had a couple of small places to touch up on the hooks of the springs but that was it. And no hospital trips...
