hood lift?

is there any other way to delete the prop rod than the Redline hood lift and hood pins? Is it possible to do a "home brew" hood lift kit? I just seen under my gpa's car('01 SS Monte Carlo) that is has two struts to lift the hood. I know that that hood is bigger/heavier than the ones on our cars but I'm kinda sick of puttin that darn prop rod up all the time. I search ad searched and couldn't really find anything that I was lookin for

some years back there was one member who "rolled his own" with some pretty standard parts, and using existing holes in the frame (redline kit needs you to drill and rivet some holes). It's out there somewhere, keep digging :D

I have that one, and I'm having those brackets made up so we can all have hood lift kits that don't require stupid rivets into your hood!

Ok cool

Does that include the sedan as well? They would be cool in colors to make the engine bay stand out more. I like it.

Well it's like this I looked in to advanced auto parts the other day and told them waht i was looking for.The guy did'nt understand I don't think what I wanted. They got the cylinders, lots of 'em but could show me the one I was looking for. Then he said " you can use one made for any car" I'm thinking whatever! I said I was going to have a CUSTOM one for my car. IDK I'll check at O'Riley's I trust them more than AAP

Garm, if you get a kit together and it's priced reasonable I'd be interested. My fiance's Sorento has spoiled me with her hydraulic hood lift.

I would also be interested in a kit that doesn't require drilling or major modifications.
