Its almost done!! Charger with TA hood

[mikes68charger]

I know there are some mixed reviews about my hood set up but  I love it. I just got the car running after the accedent in Jan. It so nice to have my baby back!!!!!!!!

[Harlow]

I like it alot better than the six pack hood scoop.

[evil1]

I'm not a big fan of putting hood scoops on cars they didn't come with , but that does look good   

[694spdRT]

I like it! 

I have a hood for my 1968 Charger with a hole cut in it for a tunnel ram that is no longer being used.  This would be a good option to go with.

[69bronzeT5]

HOLY FRICK!!! THAT LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dads_69]

Badass! I like the hole set up, big rims, T/A scoop and passenger side mirror. How much cooler can it get!? 
Mark
Edit:
For those who don't like it, the way I see it is that they are used to seeing chargers being built as DOH cars or back to stock condition. I like to think out of the box.
Awesome set up once again!

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Don't really care for it...I do like the wheels though

[70charger_boy]

I love the hood and Eleanor wheels 

[700jfm]

I like it better then the six pack hood also.

[bill440rt]

Don't really care for it...I do like the wheels though

I'm actually with Chris on this one, no offense...
Wheels  , hood 

[remta1]

nice it looks agressive / staunch / cool

[Harlow]

Is it going to be painted body color?

[68charger383]

Love the hood and wheels and the front spoiler...although not usually a big fan of the door inserts being painted, but your car makes it work

Did you buy the hood as is from a vendor or did you make the hood using a flat fiberglass hood with this scoop?

[TripleBlackGator]

Car itself? Pass
Hood? FAILED!!!

[71ChallengeHer]

I like it. It looks great.

[charger_mike75]

That looks cool, I'm not big on the rims though

[mikes68charger]

Thanks Guys!!!  I tried to make it look diffrent, I go to the local Nifty Fifty's Car show and there is another red 68 charger there with the resto look. I got a dodge to be diffrent, Cant stand Chevy's because every one has one.   The hood is a fiberglass hood with the fiberglass scoop added. I would tell you the company but I'm still trying to get some money back from them because the hood made bubbles once out in the sun.  I love the Argonsal low gloss look, it goes with the top.  I was thinking of powedercoating the centercaps and center 3 spoke spinners gloss black to Mach the car. I want to lower it more in the rear, But I already have an 2 in lowering block in the rear, I had no Ideal the superstock springs jack the back up sooooo high.

I'm hopping in 2 years to put an 392 new age Hemi .

[keepat]

Looks great!

[FastbackJon]

In my mind I thought that scoop on that car would look horrible, but now that I see the pictures it actually looks pretty cool.

[doctorpimp]

Awesome!!!

[The70RT]

Looks pretty good. ....hey your blocking the garage 

[BrianShaughnessy]

Vive la Différence 

The hood is different ...  I'm still liking my 6 pack hood more but all that matters is if you like it. 

I'm wondering what it would look like on a black car 

[69bronzeT5]

I want to lower it more in the rear

I love the stance on it. I say keep it the same

[Alaskan_TA]

It looks better than I would have thought.   

I like it!

Barry

[E5 Charger]

I love the look and think it looks great in black. I wonder how it would look on a 3rd gen?

[chargerman68]

looks sweet even the hood

[NorwayCharger]

I like it alot better than the six pack hood scoop.

Me too.
Only thing i would do is to lower the car, other than that

[Hemidog]

That car LOOKS great!
Love EVERYTHING about it 

[6670charger]

As a few of the others have said, I'm not big on hood scoops in general, but that looks better than many I've seen.

[Old Moparz]

I like it a lot, nice work.   

I kick myself everytime I think about it, but I never got any photos of a 1971-1972 fiberglass, air grabber bubble that was on my old '69 Charger. The two recessed areas where the turn signals are, were narrowed so the bubble sat flush to the hood. The previous owner had done it, but I liked it & knew I wasn't going to see any other Chargers with that hood.

[NYCMille]

Dude... VERY NICE - way to think outside the box with that car - my only change and this is obviously subjective would be to lower the stance all around about 1-1.5" otherwise I think you have one really beautiful ride on your hand. Love the wheels too - are they Shelby wheels?

[chargerboy69]

Mike is right. I was thinking the same thing. It is amazing how much better the car can look with the right stance.

Beautiful car. 

[sick dawg]

DIDN'T THINK I'D LIKE IT, BUT AFTER SEEING IT... ME LIKE!!!

[plum500]

Man, that is one sharp, clean and badass look. Nice work all around.

[DodgeByDave]

I have wanted to do that for years, but never could score the T/A scoop

Very nice, looks like something that should have been offered.

[70charger_boy]

Where did you buy the hood?  I need one for my '70

[leeandgrant]

I think it looks very nice. Looks like something Dodge could have offered, but just my 

[mikes68charger]

Yes they are custom made are they Shelby wheels, 18X10 in the rear and 18X8.5 in the front. I was able to get 305's in the rear!!!   

You know your ride is diffrent when most people don't even know its a charger.  The hood is something I thought up while in Iraq. and could not get it out of my mind.  I will lower it, I'm just tyring to figure out how to lower the rear more with out bigger blocks,   I'm glade to hear all the thumb's up!!!! This is the pic before the wreck, what a difference.

[mikes68charger]

bigger

[mikes68charger]

big diff  viper red is a weard color

[chargerboy69]

305's really. . . Did you have to move your springs in? Any rubbing? Did you bend in your wheel lips? I have 18X10 wheels and have not purchased tires yet. I was going to go with 295 45 18, but if I can fit 305's that would be cool. What brand tire are they?

Thanks. Tim

[dkn1997]

I go 295's 50's on a 16", 8" wide wheel with 4.5bs.  there's still more room, doubt he had to move the springs.

[Belgium R/T -68]

I really like this setup , I'm thinking of painting my hood with the bodycolour in my resto but to buy a new steelhood and put a T/A scoop like this on it.
Would any company in US do this for me or would I need to buy hood and scoop separatly and do it myself? 

[v21hemicharger]

I just saw this.  I am looking for those wheels.  What brand are they, and how long ago did you buy.  I looked at wheel vintiques.  Also what back spacing, how do they fit, any mods and what size/brand tire?  That car looks awesome.

[DodgeFever]

Looks awsome! Way better than the six pack scoop 
Do you have any close ups how it fits into the depressions or from underneath the hood?

[Spike]

Very nice. Looks like it belongs on the car, flows well with the hood lines.

[dkn1997]

speaking of hoods, anyone ever see this hood from showcars?  grainy pic and I generally hear nothing but bad about the company, but i like the concept.

[Hemidoug]

This is my buddies car...I haven't seen a more impressive hood scoop on a second gen then the setup he has...someone needs to pop these out!

[Hemidoug]

pic2

PS....the car is an original 6pack 4spd car.....

[69charger2002]

i would buy a hood like that. i've always wanted to do a AAR hood on a charger, i think that would look killer. that air grabber is a little similar. mikes68charger, i neevr cared for the T/A style hood as much, but it does look good on yoru car, i especially like the contrast of the black hood against the paint, that is sweet.. i know the 68-70 charger was "perfect the way it was" blah blah, but i will still never understand why they didn't at least have hood "options" like they did on alost every other car made during that time

[dodgecharger-fan]

In my mind I thought that scoop on that car would look horrible, but now that I see the pictures it actually looks pretty cool.

Same here.... I read the thread title and said, "Uh oh."
Now that I see it, it looks pretty good.

Good job.

[pettyfan43]

I really LOVE BOTH of those setups!!  They both look right at home on the second generation Charger.

[Rolling_Thunder]

This is my buddies car...I haven't seen a more impressive hood scoop on a second gen then the setup he has...someone needs to pop these out!

I've always loved the look of that car's hood...    I would definately put one on my Charger   

[billssuperbird]

nice job.

[Brock Samson]

you guys have seen the prototype Daytona hood with the AAR scoop at the leading edge?..  it was posted at the winged warriors site and still may be,.. I also reposted it here over a yr ago now...
anyhow i like that T/A scoop alot, i heard it was damaged is that right?...

[Joshua]

I have a hood for my 1968 Charger with a hole cut in it for a tunnel ram that is no longer being used.  This would be a good option to go with.

Or how about a '68 Hemi Dart/Barracuda scoop??? They fit the hood much better.....the shape matches the hood indents.

I've also wondered how well a hood would look if the indentations were cut out and inverted as scoops.....with the slits opened up as well.... Probably not good? hahaha

[Lowprofile]

I really LOVE BOTH of those setups!!  They both look right at home on the second generation Charger.

I agree! The T/A hoodscoop is one of my very favorites. That would have been great to have an  "Air Grabber" option on 2nd Gen's. Ma Mopar missed the mark on that one.

[71_Charger_R/T]

Here's one I really like. It belongs to a friend of mine. He still has the car, This picture is from back in the 80's when 70 charger hoods could be had for a dime a dozen. Yes it's a real R/T Automatic console car. He has the original hood also.

[Charger_Fan]

That shaker looks pretty cool, any more pics of it?

[tan top]

good work ...on the scoop .looks real   good    different ...but would not put one on my self ..well any scoop for that matter .. just preferance is all ............. ...

they should have put sum kind of performance hood on these chargers,that shaker looks awsome

I agree with lowprofile, and pettyfan43 the 2nd gen needed a hood option imo. mike, your charger looks awesome!

[71_Charger_R/T]

That shaker looks pretty cool, any more pics of it?

No more pictures right now but I can see if I can get some more and post them. The car is in storage right now as he got side swiped and hasn't had the opportunity to fix it yet. He's got a lot of irons in the fire......A  Daytona clone, About three or four  71 Chargers, A '70 Challenger and a 71 or 72 Road Runner

[CHRGR SE]

Love the scoop and the car. The only thing I wasn't keen on was the door paint accents.

[KMPX2]

 

[TK73]

They look good on 3rd gens

[WingCharger]

That hood is awesome!!

[ViperRedCharger]

I am good with that.  Different

[challenger70]

before i saw the pics I thought to myself that must look terrible, after seeing it once I thought it looked better than I thought it would.  Now looking at it a few times it is growing on me
