Should I put a fiberglass 6 pack hood on my 69?

[blackcharger]

if your doing a 100 point show car, no. but if you're doing a car to drive and have fun with it, hell yeah. besides, if it was good enough for the Dandy One, then it';s good enough for the rest of us. I've seen 2nd Gens with a Six Pak scoop. looks pretty damn good. remember that Direct Connection ad a few years ago with a '69? had the Six Pak scoop and the chin spoiler. never thought a '69s looks could be improved upon till I saw that.

I love the 6 pack hood on a 2nd gen!!

Just needs the black "H" Wheels and that would be one mean, all-black beast!

I like em . I was thinking of putting on on my car as well

So what should I do?
Here is another view of the car. Maybe someone can photo shop one on to see what it would look like...

Go for it!

[ds440]

My vote is no.

The reason?  Once at the local track was a guy with a '67 Charger.  It looked nice, but it didn't look to be anything special.  Stock interior with a 4pt cage, a dash tach, stock seats, etc.  Being the only Mopar there, I chatted with the guy briefly.  He told me the car was a "basic 440 street/strip cruiser."

Well you should have seen everybody's jaw drop as he ran a 9.90!!!  On DOT tires!  Through exhausts!

So I come running up to him after his run and he's laughing.  He pops the hood and underneath is some B1-headed behemoth.

My long-winded point?  Sometimes it pays to be a sleeper....

(I found out later he was a runner-up at a 'fastest street car' challenge)

I've been following your Hemi rebuild.  Keep us posted.

Good luck, Doug.

Doug, I would vote no only because, I think it would be TOO much black on your car then.  After all, you have the all black vinyl roof, black interior, and black tail stripe.

Here's another 

How about a up22.com  3.5" cowl induction hood painted pewter   

You got another set of wheels instead of the magnums?

[charge1]

go for it i think they look great

[Joshua]

Dick Landy used various scoops on his cars.....I think the '67 WO23 scoop looked best. Then the Hemi Dart scoops......

[charger01]

I say no.  It just looks odd.  I think it interupts the design of the hood.  with the stock hood indentions it looks like out of place with a hoodscoop covering half of them up.

[Arkgl01]

Where do you get them? I was told they didnt make one that fit a charger and body work would be exspensive?

[gj69charger]

Go ahead. Do it.

A Six-Pac Hood & a set of Centerlines for the race and your good to go!

My bro runs that combo on his 68' GTX when he goes to the track. 

Looks good on this mad max 68'!

[bull]

NO.

[Hemidog]

Go for it!
It looks great!

That's NOT a Sixpack scoop.....it's a Hemi Dart scoop.....

Doug,
I would do it,,,,,,,,,,,,,I have one on my Charger,,,see pic,,,,,,
When i did mine,,,i didnt want to mess with the original hood,,,so that was taken off and put into safe storage,,,,,,,
I ordered a glass hood,,,hinge style,,,,with light weight springs,,,so i didnt need anybody to help me remove the hood,,,,,i had the hood company (VFN),,,graft on a 3" scoop,,,,and it turned out nice.....
For what you are going to do,,,i dont see a down side,,,it will put some fresh/cool air into the carb,,,,,and you could even seal the carb to the hood scoop.........
its lighter,,,,,quicker ET (not much, but it helps )

you can put it on and remove it,,,,,and put your old hood on,,,,in a matter on minutes....................

I miss my stock hood "at times",,,,,but as far as performance,,,,,( and looks,,,to me ) i like the glass hood,,,and scoop,,,,,,,,,,,

I painted mine organisol black,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I have a 5" scoop on my Belvedere,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it DOES help with performance............

good luck at PINKS<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

if you were closer,,,,we could just bolt my Charger hood on your car for the weekend......................

Doug

[BrianShaughnessy]

NO.

Did you feel a breeze over top of your head?       

I know Doug,  Doug knows me.  He's seen my hood a bunch of times.     If mine was the orgasmol black I'd drive my car over to his place before Pinks and let him borrow it for the show.  In Doug's in a pinch and don't care about gloss black then the offer is open anyway.   But I'm reading he's looking for a season long solution and not just the weekend.

[mally69]

Just my    But I think you should do it. In my mind it looks great, I  have a six pack glass hood for a 68-69 charger and I am going to put it on my next charger gauranteed, well I kinda have to.

[suntech]

Just remember the speed limit on fibreglass hoods, with pins to hold´em down
Was´nt that 153 mph???

Well, I guess you told me. I'll go stand in the corner now......
