Cutlass glasstech hood springs
Does anyone sell hood springs for a 1970 cutlass with glasstech w25 hood that will hold hood up but also not be to strong to break the hood i have the gold ones made for glass hoods but they dont hold the hood up very securely

I have a glasstech hood on my 71 Cutlass and used the lighter springs. They have always kept hood up fine unless I would do something stupid like moving car a few feet with hood up or something. I cant remember them being gold or any color... Maybe you could try the original ones and see. I don't remember any Cutlasses back in the day being really hard to close, as in hard enough to bend a hood (or break a glass hood) unless the hinges were rusted or bent as a car in the boneyard would be. Maybe you could try one light and one standard spring?? Let us know what you find.

Years ago, I had a bolt on glass hood on a 71. I can't remember the brand but it was an all glass repop not one with a metal lower structure. I ran stock 66 chevelle hood springs on it as those hoods weigh about the same as the repop 71 W25 hood I was running.
