Good Luck. It took me a while to find one in good shape. I was using a nice fiberglass one.

[hatersaurusrex]

I like stories about whores.

I love whore stories!!!!   

[JB400]

I like them too.  But, I've heard the HORROR stories as well.

[Indygenerallee]

Although I have heard horror stories about whores!

If it hasn't been stolen, there is one in my basement.

Hood or whore?

AMD will have them out soon.   I'm still thinking about changing my 68 Hood to an AMD due to how weak the metal is on mine.

I have a nice 70 hood. It has original paint on the outside.

[bad88t-top]

I have an originatal B5 paint hood with factory hood pins.   $400 + shipping.   Not a spec of rust on it at all.  PM me if interested

Consider partial trade for 71 Demon hood that's equally clean.

Searched for 2 years for a 70 hood in driveable range for my 70. (im in canada) northeast states no luck. After a few 4 plus hour round trips to look at junk priced in the 300-500 range we gave up and went to town on mine.

I've heard for years AMD isn't even considering the 70 front clip.

that's some impressive work..... 

I have issues doing body work & wood working

but I can put an engine together blindfolded

Yeah, I thought AMD's position on the 1970 Charger stuff was "not now and probably never."

[bill440rt]

That's what I thought as well.

[Ghoste]

Is it that different from the 68-69 one?  I know the obvious differences of course but is the basic structure so different that its a complete new set of dies?

[bill440rt]

Completely, totally different. 

[Ghoste]

Fair enough, that sucks for the 70 guys then but at least they get some of the other AMD goodies.  Woe be the 1st gens.

Funny, I parted a '70 Charger in the early 80's & had trouble "giving" things away from it. I sold parts at the Mopars at Englishtown swap meet the first 4 or 5 years they had it, & the '70 stuff was the most difficult to sell. Everything went dirt cheap except the hood which didn't sell. It was absolutely mint with no dents, no dings & no rust, & I had ZERO interest in it for the $30 I was asking. I even tried to talk this guy into taking it for free who bought the doors from the car for $7.35 & he wasn't interested. 

I still have it & now glad that I couldn't sell it since it'll end up on my Daytona replica.

[Indygenerallee]

Impressive work on that hood structure!!!!  Yes 69 and 70 hoods are totally different animals altogether.

[JerseyJoe]

Wow, that is some great work, I wish I could work at that level. My extra hood needs that kind of help and you've inspired me.

Funny how things go, I was picking a 70 Charger 500 clean at a junkyard in Newberry, MI during the mid 80's to gather some extra parts for my 70 Charger RT. I had my Brother in Law along for help and we had quite a collection of stuff off the car and were looking at about 3 trips out of the yard back to where we had parked the truck. Then we hit on the idea that the hood of the car we were stripping parts off would make a great item to load it all on and carry everything out in one trip. While I was paying for the stuff we had gathered I nearly didn't bother with the hood until the yard owner mentioned we would need to drag it back if we didn't want it. I asked how much and he replied  5 bucks. Probably my best Mopar part buy of all time. I didn't need it on my Charger but it sure is comforting to have it in the garage just in case.
