I've details for the Fastback hinge too, but not scanned so far.  Would that
be a help?  It is in the factory manual book 2 (electrical and body).

Mike, you really need to get something else to go with your Squarebacks.  
;-) The Notch rear trunk lid spring setup is completely different (as  is
the T-34), so Dave's link won't help much here. The Notch uses a slotted
plate and coil spring arrangement to hold the rear trunk lid up, not torsion
bars like a Square or Fastback. :O And the T-34 uses a coil spring with
hooks on  both ends, and pulls down to hold it up. :O
