1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

Then it will be an improvement all the way around with another hood.

I do hope both you and @replicaracer43 Sean will continue to both give updates. Don't let the negativity of one or two ruin things for this great comeback story.
I have had the hood at the body shop for a while now. The plan was to fill in all the holes and paint it all flat black with the current scoop. However, that is changed, obviously because the snorkel scoop is not wide enough for the crossram. I went over to the body shop this morning and talked to the owner. No sense paying for some thing that I wouldn’t use and I had to pay for it obviously because the process started. I ordered a Glastek Superstock Hemi scoop. We talked and I’m going to have him put the Hemi scoop on the steel hood.
