I finally got my hood for the Barracuda.
I like it.

Bolt on.
Functional.
Open on underside.
VFN.
It is a good quality hood.
Only very minor modifications required.
A little more clearance for hinge bolt access.
Had to trim top of hinges for clearance.
Sanded back lip corners for clearance.
I am thinking about a custom AAR strobe stripe.
Went from stock hood to this one in about 2 hours,including adjustments.

How much difference in weight from the stock one ?
I've been thinking of this also.
Waiting on the" Violent Valance" I ordered,
 
About 25 pounds.
I lucked out. Was about to order one but decided to wait till next day.
Around 2am I'm on ebay couldn't sleep. There it was new in box never opened $150.00 plus $50.00 shipping I rubbed my eyes . Hit buy button.
Seller lived 20 minutes from a member here Mopar Tim..
He picked it up so saved the fifty and Tim brought it East last September.
Bolt on VFN hood brand spankin New.. only issue I had was springs removed them..
Hood went on my 64 Valiant convert. Going to order the valance next and delete the bumper.

The same AAR hood fron VFN?
If so ,super deal.
I removed torsion springs also,using supports in the fenders.

Yep just got lucky. Guy said it came with a car he bought to flip. Buyer who bought car didn't want hood.
Right place at the right time for once in my life.
Looks like you have some kind of pin hold downs?
I used factory latch.
