I finally took that annoying bulge hood off my 71 charger today. It had been bothering me for a while now. I had put it on in '87 when I bought the car. I got a rare 72 charger topper hood from twilt to replace it  with. I hate that a 72 topper gave some of its parts for my car but I guess it was a necessary evil. It was off stormhammers old car. I got the pass door too.

Ummm, I'm confused. Don't you like the bulge hoods? I hope that isn't from your Bee? I must be missing something here.

Actually Tom gave me a pretty good deal on some stuff I needed. Im just going with a plain-jane look for my 71 charger. Im even switching back to the non rallye dash! (not to be confused with my 71 super bee.

He already has a bench seat ;D , also donated from Stormhammers old car. I couldn`t convince him to take whats left of the Mock Turtle top though.  :'(  BTW, that hood is not only a Topper hood, but a Topper X hood, and possibly a Topper X-spring special hood.  :o  1 of 200  :laugh:

I always thought the 3rd Gen Bulge hood was one of Mopar's best hood designs. I like them. :icon_smile_big:

Ya, I agree. I think Terry might of been drunk after Tom got him that way. That way Tom would have another bulge hood for his collection or like 20 or so :D

It took me months to get rid of two flat hoods. I was shocked at that considering I was giving them away.

Man maybe I shouldnt mess up a nice flat hood to make My own bulge Hood. I dont even have a 3rd gen charger yet but if I ever got one to fix it would have to have a bulge hood. I bought this scoop and I am welding it on a flat hood to make me one. Not sure what I will do in center where super bee scoop goes. I guess I will weld metal in there as you cannot but this peice from anyone reasonable. Or would trade 10 flat hoods for a bulge hood?
