68 with flat hood and Ebody shaker.....

[dkn1997]

got this off a thread over at moparts.  I have been begging to see a 2nd gen with a totally flat hood..now....not so much....maybe a flat hood with airgrabber, a la 70 roadrunner and such...

I sorta like the looks of a shaker on a Charger.

hmm, not my cup o tea

[UFO]

I like it.
I think if the center splitter was left on it would be better.A set of hood pins as well to break up the flat surface.

[moparstuart]

I also like it , nice to see something different

Ah hell no!

I like the hood pins idea.
ok, where is the photochop guy?  I would love to see variations on this.......it's a concept that I love, but now that i see it, I don't really like it that much....but I think I could love it with some tweeking...

give us a flat hood with an airgrabber!!!!  like this one!!!

[terrible one]

Ehh I like the shaker but the flat hood just doesn't work in my opinion. Maybe I'm just so used to seeing the correct one.

I saw that car at the Mopar Alley show yesterday in Fremont, CA.  Pretty cool.

If someone produced that with an air grabber, I'd buy it in two seconds

[BlaineKaiser450]

i think with some hoodpins, that would look sick

Send me another Runner hood, a repop Air Grabber assembly  and 1,500 dollars. You shall have your wish in a few weeks. The 68 hood I'd use for the conversion is already drilled for hoodpins.

could you do it on a 70 charger hood ? to fit on a daytona ?

I don't see why it wouldn't work. The only 70 hood I have in my posession is a bit weak in the latch area though. Hood pins would be a must. I thought someone had posted a pic of a 70 Charger with one of those power bulges shortly after I did mine? I thought I was being so original, I was pretty bummed to see it. It just goes to show, there's nothing new under the sun.

Now that's something you don't see every day.

I like the shaker and the flat hood, pins would be a good addition. 

Not so much on the air grabber or the air grabber on the 70 charger hood.

This is/was advertised in our for sale area. 7th General is the member.




But this is still my favorite non-stock hood on a Charger, the guy said it's all steel, too.

I really really like the various flat hoods. I kind if wish I hadnt just bought my brand new AMD hood now. Maybe I can find a cheap RR hood that doesn't look to good...HINT HINT ...to anyone selling one.

Good luck with that. I paid $150 for that P.O.S. I cut up to stitch into my car and then drove seven hours one-way to pick it up.  It had a major hit at the front to the right of the center, torched-in rear hoodpin holes, and severe warping and pitting at the top center of the bulge where it had evidently covered a major engine fire.  The underframe was so rotten, I quite literally just grabbed one corner and separated 80% of it from the skin. Lots of hours of heat, ice-shrinking and dolly work went into that skin before I could even start with the grafting process. And let's not forget, the Runner skin is over 5 inches shorter than a Charger skin. There is no easy way to get it done. I don't recommend this modification, it's a total P.I.T.A. Here's what it looks like all cobbled together and the stitching is roughly half complete.

I'd still want the reverse scallops (stock hood) but I think the Coronet scoop would still look just
right on top of it - especially on a Daytona 

[moparstuart]

  I love my birdables air grabber I think my daytona clone should get one also
