I have a 40 ford convertible. I know that my front seat is really stuffed and on both sides the seat hits the doors. My car is tight! Nothing loose for a convertible. At times, if the top is down, the driver's side down will pop open. If believe, it's from the over stuffed seats. Evidently, when...

Got it fixed by just replacing the trunk support on the passenger side. Looks good and stays up also. My forty had the hood stainless/ chrome taken off and leaded or bondo placed into the stock holes. I would like to put new stainless on the sides and the small and large front part of the hood...

19, are the right in the middle of the spring? I'm thinking about doing your idea of inserting a metal extension on the spring, I think I can do it. Thanks 19 forty.
