A Lark hood can’t weigh more than 30 pounds. Prop it up wth the rod as you normally would, remove the springs and the 4 hinge nuts, and pull the hinges off the hood one side at a time and let the hood corner rest on the cowl. Put a rolled up towel under the corner if you don’t want to chip the paint. With the hinges free, lift the front of the hood off the prop rod, lower it down until you can grab both sides, and pick it up off the car.
I’ve done it by myself with Larks, mid 50s sedans, and even a couple of Hawks. Nothing to it.
Clark, marking the hinge location wouldn’t be necessary on an early Lark. The hinge is adjusted at the cowl on those cars, not the hood like your ‘63. Makes it even easier on the earlier cars.
