Quick hood question......maybe

[A383Wing]

What is the difference between the '69 hood and the '70 hood......I saw someone post that the 'scallops' on the top of the hood are different

I know the hood mounted turn signals are different, and the front hood lip edge is different......are the scallops actually different?

Bryan,

Yes, The hood indentations are different, as is at least the front part of the under hood frame work/bracing.

I discovered this when I was trying to find a rust free portion of the front under hood frame to fix/modify the hood for my Daytona.

Checking through my hood stash, I found several differences between the 68, 69 and '70 hoods.

Wondering then... Daytona hood would be 68/69 scallops look with the front edge cut like 70s?

Daytona used 70 style front fenders so was an early production 70 hood also ( the early 70 hoods are a little different on the under side than the later 70 hoods )

"Scallops" in question were the indents along the BOTTOM inner metal bracing, along where the rubber meets the cowl.  Those areas are different from a real Daytona hood, compared to a 70 Charger hood. 

There was a thread on it, with photos, a while back...
