I'm putting a wing on the back trunk and need to upgrade the hinges or something..
Do they make an aftermarket rear lift kit for the rear trunk ?? Or has any one made one to work ??
Really enjoy reading the feedback .. Thanks

Use the original torsion rods. The so called rear trunk lift kit punches needless holes on your car and trunk lid, strains the trunk lid, and prevents you from swinging the top into the trunk. JUST DO NOT DO IT!!!

Camp914 provides a strut type kit for the trunks if desired. You do need to clearance a bit of the rear firewall (between the engine and the rear trunk) to allow for the struts. I don’t know that it stresses the chassis, and the original torsion bars do work fine. I used the kit on my conversion car to clean up the engine compartment somewhat when I converted to a six.

Thanks ...

I post this only because I see OP is in Calgary. I have banned gas struts from my car and wish I could take the damn things off all my cars because I'm tired of being hit in the fuching head whenever the temps drop into negative digits and the gas struts provide no lift. YMMV.

I just happened to have one close by to take a picture of. When I bought my roller for my V8 from duc and Craig at Camp 914. my car had them in.
