Struts installed. Ordered from McMaster-Carr. For the hood I used two 9416K19 struts with 20 lbs of pressure. The 20 lbs. is perfect. For the trunk I used two 9416K16 struts with 15 lbs of pressure. The 15 lbs is a little weak but does work. I would probably recommend 20 lbs. For the strut ends I used 9416K47 quick release ball sockets. The mounting brackets that worked for my installation were 9512k95 and 9512k91. When raising and lowering the hood the fender flanges do flex a bit so I plan on beefing up the back side of the flange with some angle so the fiberglass does not fatigue.
Thanks for all your input.
