Hey where did you get the fiberglass Superbird hood? and location and price. thanks Stephen

If you're talking about the orange bird with the bulge hood, that's a 70 Coronet R/T hood. I have one that I plan to use on my wife's bird clone, but I haven't seen any complete ones in quite a while. There's five pieces altogether and the inserts are usually missing. I've got around $1000 in my hood including the cost of going and picking it up at the winter Mopar swap meet in Columbia, Mo.
I still have to modify the front edge. That's going to be scary.

are you getting the scoope made into it ?   must post pictures for us 

[sound5262]

yes, i was told that they had a coronet r/t hood that they were going to make a mold out of. i took him to the "unique superbird "site and showed him the cars. he loved the site and the responces from all you guys and plans on having that hood as part of his options.

as soon as i get the hood i'll be sending some pics on the fenders as well as the hood.

hey stuart, i think i saw a picture you sent in @the convertible birds that was red w/big black hood that appeared to be seamless to the nose. if that is the case........very nice!

[moparstuart]

  this one has the seam ?  personally i like the orginal look of the seam

oh that is the super charger  a factory show car. 

  started life as the topless charger 68 model and got modified in the super charger auto show , show car special .

Here's the view looking out across the hood. The bulge sits higher than you would expect.

[sound5262]

i still think that it is going to be very cool to have that on the hood. it adds so much, to get rid of the flat look.

[sound5262]

i'm assuming that the scoops can be cut to let air get to the breather. would you recommend that. i have 440 6 pack w/ demon carbs.

[hotrod98]

As long as you plan to never drive it in the rain....

In fact, seems like you just leave the inserts out and it's open. I would have to look at my hood again to make sure. I know that the bulge inserts have small block off plates of some type mounted in them.

The '70 Coronet owners are going to hate those of us cutting these hoods up.

if his looks good and turns out to fit maybe you should get a fiberglass one .  Saving that nice coronet hood .

I agree I am going with the glass hood with the scoop. nice combonation of factory styling.

[hotrod98]

I've seen very few aftermarket fiberglass hoods that fit as well as a factory hood.  Nothing personal. I would just have to see how the hood looked and how well it fit before buying one. I'll admit that it would save me a lot of time and money. I just like steel hoods.
I recently bought a 69 six pack hood for a roadrunner from Yearone which I was told by several A12 owners that it was the best on the market. This hood is going to need about eight hours of work or more to please me. If it's the best example, I would hate to see the others.

from what i hear the originals weren't anything to brag on .

Here's another couple of birds with the R/T hood.

[hotrod98]

And another that I found. Looks like they grafted the hood onto a daytona hood or something

[nascarxx29]

That last daytona clone looks like the old Ed Levack car
