Well I'm curious if anybody has and weird dreams like me because I've seen the 1971 G Force Cuda and how that hood was designed by themselves. And the company that did all the carbon fiber did it for them and they say if you give a sketch of what you want they would be able to do it and I'm already designing what I think would be a cool design and I'm going with the 71 R/T louvers but ten of them down the entire bulge hood and alot deeper groves and they actually have air holes. And I've seen like a viper concept hood that looked like it and I was wondering if anybody had that topic or picture of it?

I thought about doing a Shaker hood deal for mine But I would rather go with the clasic air grabber hood.

I envisioned this hood & then decided to make my Vision come true & made it. One of a kind. I'm working on a similar one for a buddy's 71 Super Bee only this one is a bulge with huge pro stock scoop, LEON.

I made this hood for my '72. Yes it's all steel.

The shaker hood is a definite possibility, the third generation charger and E-body hood frames are very similar-should be a piece of cake with one of those do-it-yourself shaker hood kits!...

Did you sacrifice a challenger hood to make it?


Yep, I paid $40 bucks for a 73/74 Challenger rallye hood that was crashed in the right front corner....

I spliced a 70 Runner bulge into my Charger hood.I want to put a bank of idiot lights  in between the turn signals in the bulge insert. Just seems like it would be kinda cool.

Ok THAT'S THE BEST 3 GEN HOOD I HAVE SEEN... preffer that one over a bulged hood anytime.

on the side view I LOVE HOW does look softly attached to the rest of body lines and the GREATH SMOOTH LOOK. Just would have "erased" the middle hood line to complete the job.

I like bulged hood, but different than this, bulged area ( plain ones without inserts ) just looks ADDED IT THERE without a reason more than add the engine emblems and that's all. Your one looks like part of rest of body without accident
