So far, I think the leverage for springing would be between the bumper brackets and the frame horns. Else, two parallel cross-braces 2-3" off the pivot line, wrapped with bungee cord like a WWI airplane's landing gear.

What I haven't figured out is how to make a sliding catch for the hood latch. More bungee?
