interesting bit of parts trivia, Plymouth A bodies from 63 to 65, used trunk hinges (torsion bar springs) on the hood to free up space

I learned about this, as it's not something I've spent any time working on or thinking about, from Vice Grip Garage's guy who went to Florida to buy a 65 Barracuda, and spent many days in the hot and humid weather trying to get this car on the road under it's own power (in order to get traffic to his You Tube I suppose) instead of simply getting it towed home instantly and working on it in comfort, at home, in his own garage on his lift (I figure he must have one) and he pointed out the trivia about the hood hinge design at minute 17:26 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VociPiFBMj0
