Huh?

Were you talking more in terms of actuators kinda lift or a hydraulic lift?

I was thinking redline style I fabbed one up. I've done the actuator kind too but that probably has a limited market.

how about a remote hood lift.... where the remote releases the latch and the redline quick lift kind lifter opens the hood up?

I'm working on the acuators. It will be a remote to release the latch and a 150 or 200 rated spring to open it. I'll see how affordable it will be. Actuators can cost butt loads but I'm trying to use something some cheaper but still reliable.

Yeah , that is a very sweet set-up garm , I love how it can chill with the hood like half way open for the shows/parking lot pimpin' Lol. I've been waiting to see that hood strut kit Fs on microimage...

I have few of the weird gas strut ends you need for the redline style if anyone is interested and I can get you the part# from (mcmaster-carr?) to order the strut. I built my own.
