Nice 70 charger but I would change the hood scoop

That's why this car is done that way Dino. it's being offered to folks that want a "Resto-mod, NOT a factory Hemi Charger. I think the valances look BETTER filled than not, but then again, the factory seam sealed 'em so I guess one COULD say they were "Filled" from the factory as well.

Ah yes, missed the restomod bit.  Looks like the quarter extensions have been made permanent as well.  I do like the clean look of it as well but most of th etime it looks bondo'ed over.  Nothing wrong with having a nice even gap that gets filled with sealer just before paint though.

Don't like the hood, nor the placement of the HEMI emblem, but wheels are nice.  

Isn't the Hemi emblem in the correct spot?   :scratchchin:

I could live with those wheels, but that hood has got to go....  :eek2:

Yes, On a 70' that is where the Hemi emblem was located. I never liked it there personally either. Between the door indentions like on a 68' or 69' looks much better.

I never minded it there.  It seemed somehow fitting with some of the other styling changes for the year.  :shruggy:

What does the 6 pack scoop look like?

Ghoste

He's referring to a retrofit of the stock Super Bee/Road Runner Six Pack scoop onto a Charger.  Its the big one you've seen on the 69 1/2 Bees and Runners, the Chargers didn't have one as stock.  (if that is what you are asking for)

Dig up a Coronet hood and fix it. The important stuff hasn't been cut up, has it?
