I am trying to find some people that have the SRT 440 hood from www.USBodysource.com
I can only find one picture of the hood installed and had a few questions about the fitment. One of them being the front of the hood does not look like it lines up with the fender extensions, or is the hood stops not installed, causing it to look this way? And some more on the quality of the hood:

That's my 70 dart. The hood did hang over the front about 1/4". I installed different springs in the hood hinges to accomdate the lighter hood so I notched the hood hinges with a mini grinder while the hinges were off the car, it now lines up properly with the fender extensions. Overall I am happy with the quality, they were good to deal with.

Nice, thanks for posting. Do you have any more pictures of everything together? Maybe a front shot or two? That would be awesome.
Thank you

I love the way it looks too. Made me question my original design also.
 
I love that hood! They list one for the 73-76 Darts, but offer no picture. I wonder if that one looks as nice?

What is nice is that they are available through Jegs so maybe it would be easier to buy through them. Jegs is a huge company that may honor a warranty better if there are any fitment issues or impurities.
 
really not sure how I feel about this hood. Was gonna go 6 pack hood for my dart but considering this because I like different.
 
Yes I just confirmed on the website that there is one. Interesting. Does it have the peak in the middle like the stock one? Hard to tell in the pics.
 
those are nice... wonder what the difference is between a 65 and a 66 barracuda for the hood? They have some nice stuff... now if they had rear quarters for a 66 Id be a happy man
 
Thread resurrection.

This is the hood I put on my 72 Dart.


apparently this answers a few questions.

I don't have to. It's a modern scoop. I don't like modern scoops on older cars. Just a personal opinion.

I agree, but I had an L-88 fiberglass hood on my 406 vega , w/ a kick *** paint scheme , looked way cool ,everybody wanted to know what scoop it was ,
