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 :cheers:

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.

I like it a lot, nice work.   :cheers:

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.

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?

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.  :2thumbs:

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.

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.

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

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.

I really like this setup :2thumbs:, 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?  :scratchchin:

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  :2thumbs:
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. :punkrocka:

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.

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
