robbz28 Member Sep 23, 2009 775 5 19 Epps, LA Sep 12, 2010 #1 Sep 12, 2010 #1 Anyone know a good way to remove the springs from a 67 coupe trunk? I installed a fiberglass trunk and it don't like the springs very much. I want to switch to the gas strut conversion for it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
