1969 Hood Striker Assembly Finishes

While restoring some items that I planned in selling, I referenced this thread and hopefully came close to the intended result.

I noticed your spring has more coils than others. Is that a reproduction or just one you painted?

Painted. I have seen several late build 69’s including a low mile mostly original paint copo that had the same amount of turns into it.  I have another with the same type of spring that I finished yesterday. They look identical.  I’ll post some before photos in another post.

The striker spring with additional coils was used on full size GM vehicles (Impala, Caprice, Belair etc) to compensate for the larger, heavier hoods.

Makes sense. Just not sure why a couple original Camaro’s would have them..
