I've been looking at this for the rear hatch but I like the working vintage hardware.



just have to be careful around that hatch when it's open, it will definitely leave a mark if it falls on you..

so I was thinking about drilling a hole across both halves of the supports and inserting locking aircraft style pins..

probably end up just getting the gas springs eventually but might toy with the stock supports first..

I've done a couple of gas cylinder conversions on deck lids for A-bodies and one Challenger which came out nice. Loosing the factory spring weight and making the trunk more usable, but I'm with you on the stock hatch supports. Something about that mechanical action I like.
