To scoop or not

[Silver R/T]

Thinking about painting car red with satin black hood w/hood pins and hood scoop. My favorite choices are either 6pack hood scoop or Hemi like Hemi Darts have.

[skip68]

Hey Silver, can you post a few pics of the choices ?

air grabber

air grabber

That wasn't an option, plus I'm looking at something that looks aggressive going down the road.
Air grabber kits are very expensive anyways

yes they are but they are the  coolest thing out there

[skip68]

I like the first one.   

[Khyron]

Im a big fan of the 6pack hood personally......love the look on Brians car, but i would have to see what it looks like red. If may be one of thos things a black car can pull off.

[tan top]

six pack hood   deffo on a charger !  hemi type  on a dart or cuda a body or 67 b-body  
but  if it were mine  would not have a scoop !  although liking a air grabber  
   

[Brock Samson]

  Honestly I haven't seen pics of your charger in sooooo long I'd have to see Your charger to decide.
 do you need it to clear duces or is it just for looks?..  
 Personally i like a charger with a clean hood, even though I fabbed up my own, 20 + years ago...
 I really love they way a Chally T/As looks on a charger though,..

[Khyron]

ohhhhh and I tryed it once on mine, back when my normal hood was getting done.... my suggestion is buy a glass one with it molded on, putting one on a steel hood is a pain in the ass.

[maxwellwedge]

Not liking the scoop idea on a Charger.  It just doesn't look right to me. I wish Mopar designed some kind of fresh air system for the Charger on the 68-70's....Almost everything else had one available!!

Looks badASS!

[472 R/T SE]

If I remember correctly your car was unique in it's factory configuration.  I say leave it alone or sell it to someone who appreciates it for what it is & buy yourself some 318 car to mod up. 

I remember FastbackJon talking about you & your car on the old site before you were even a member.

[Darkman]

I like a scoop but it would look out of place on a Charger hood (with the moulded sections). I agree with Khyron, get a fibreglass hood with your choice of scoop moulded in, it won't have the moulded sections and would look like it belongs (like the pic in Hemidog's post) then at least you have the option of both hoods.

i agree that is one of the best looking scoops on a second gen , much better then a six pac scoop

[69_Charger_RT]

I ended up going with a 6 pack scoop with a little bit of a cowl induction to it.  Mine is satin black on an F8 charger/black vinyl top.

When i get home i will post up some pics for you as i am at work right now.

for got about  the T/A hoodscoop     that looks good on there   
  still prefere second generations with a stock hood though 

[SnoPro440]

Here are a couple of pics of mine from 4 years ago.  I like the scoop a lot but the stock hood looks good too.  Still got the scooped hood and may put it back on at some point.  I think it would look cool if it had hood pins too.

[Silver R/T]

That looks nice! Hood like that definitely needs hood pins. I think red body color would bring out black hood and it would look pretty decent, black interior/black stripes and possibly black wheels.

[Magnumcharger]

My vote...

[Silver R/T]

^^^^^^There you go!! Keep posting em guys, that's what I'd like to see. That one looks pretty clean

[HITMAN 149]

6 pack scoop!!!! but don't hack up your steel hood!!! BUY MY fiberglass hood to do it!!!  hehehe
i like the way dave put a charger emblem on the inside of his... looks cool!!

Hey Moparstuart! That looks like a 70 Charger hood! Who did the fabrication and how? I would
like to do the same for mine!

[Back N Black]

yup  

Dave, i really like it, especially the drivers view. 

[mikepmcs]

I like the first one.   

I'm with Chuckerdoo. 1st one gets my vote and I like your idea...blacked out, pins,color combo, etc... 
reminds me of my last road runner...i miss that car!!!!!

[70charginglizard]

yup  

    that is pretty damn cool.

[Brock Samson]

thanks for the compliments guys, it's never even been on the car... when i first posted it, everyone hated it...  
i think if it's perfomance gains you want a lighter fiberglass hood has to be the way to go, these hoods are awfully heavy!

  http://www.wsracingfiberglass.com/products.htm

Looks wise i prefer the chally T/A style. really don't like the early HEMI style, the a-12 style comes in the middle but seems like the most common and maybe the easy way to go...
BTW: there are dozens of threads on adding hood scoops to chargers... Avail. via search...

[b5blue]

I voted no but just because mine had one (6-pack) when I bought it and they are a pain in the butt to see around and seemed to suck cops out of side streets and on my arse everywhere I went!  

[HITMAN 149]

yea that air grabber hood looks cool... but kinda reminds me of a cowl hood for a chebby or ferd !?!?!  

[TUFCAT]

I vote no scoop.

[Patronus]

I remember looking for hoods/scoops awhile back....
Found a manufacturer making glass hoods with the Cuda' bulge hood, sick!

[Arigmaster]

Well... You all know my choice.

[mikepmcs]

Well... You all know my choice.

Hey, Rig, nice to see you.
and yup, his would be the example I was imagining!

Why aren't you out working on that Charger? I'm pulling ahead of ya.

[METROID]

I yanked my motor right after I did the body work last fall. I only drove it maybe 10 miles with the scoop so I can't speak for it being a cop magnet however it does obstruct the view a lot  .

I like my Six Pack and I think it looks good at any angle .









Nothing shows body imperfections like flat black paint.
