Thanks guys for the compliments. As for advice, the scoop is flexible so it helps with the install, if it has the brackets L shape molded into the scoop tack them for anchoring, then can use bondo/fiberglass mix for flushing it smooth. Measure more than twice to be certain it's straight. I...

My hood scoop is trimmed and sunk a little into the hood after cutting the triangle out of the hood to allow airflow into the motor. My scoop is fiberglass/ bondo mix flushed in for bein unnoticeable. It is welded also under neath to L shaped small brackets fiberglassed into the underside of the...

I got it off eBay

Yeah I bought some 3/8 stainless steel tubing and going to cut to fit and run a bolt with a tapered alan head through the tubing with fender washers so it won't dig into the fiberglass and through the hood with a nut on the bottom with a fender washer

Once you cut the hole there is no turning back haha, It took lots of thinking to do it ( a entire year) before pulling the trigger. Im goin to find another hood for winter driving

My painter layed it out real nice. And yeah the fenders will be green on the sides like it was before I did them. I think it's called Fiesta Green Poly, it has a flake in it. Im looking at a factory color chart and its the closest color of green, My car has had one respray in its life since I...

Thanks, and it's black epoxy primer for now. I will do the hood and tops of the fenders satin black when I finish the rest of the car this winter.

Here is the hood on the Dart, just need to put the grille, bumper and valance in

Thanks guys, we looked through a bucket he had and found the right size that you mentioned, hood went on with ease and little adjustment was required for that perfect fit

Hey guys, what's the size for the hood bolts on a 72 darts hood? my hood is not with me it's at my friends place getting finished up with the scoop, the original bolts were lost. I did a search on here but came up with nothin.

Just epoxy black. And thanks

It is amazing good stuff, and the water sheets off, I like the GC wax. This new synthetic stuff amps up the color when the sun hits it and in the shade looks like water on the paint, I just did my Ducati rosso corsa red and with that stuff, its almost blinding in the light.

Thanks man!

I love megs and have every mirror glaze product, what you might like even if its a new paint job is pure polish #7, has no abrasives just a polish, makes it pop even more after waxing. I use ultimate liquid wax and since you seem to wax so often maybe a new product you'd wanna try by meguiars...

Hey guys so here is my hood with the scoop painted just need to be put on the car. Front clip is still apart cause might as well do it right and remove all the old underbody coating that's just gross looking to a car guy.

So this is what I did, the old push nut washer thing was on the last grooved area of the stud, so it back off over the years so I took a 14MM socket and 6 inch extension and a ball peen hammer and knocked it back on snug but not over tight, and all fixed, I might buy another set of push nuts to...

Thanks for the reply, its the weirdest set up I've ever seen and bummed one hinge is bent and it rubs my fender, Thats what I was thinking of how to get them off, I bought two extra hinges just for the heck of it and the guy had to take a crow bar to get that clip off the parts car, said it was...

Whats the best way to remove a hood hinge? I did a search and found a great idea sombody did have for getting rid of those pressed on lock washer design but is there a tool to remove them or is there a trick my front clip is apart for the removal but stuck at the hood hinge part, one hinge is...

Hey guys, so with me doing my scoop I pull the hood off and my hinges are so messed, Found a 74 parts car with hinges in good shape, would those work with a 72 cause I imagine they would fit as they did not change the design?

In that price range I bought a universal cover and its not very good, its thin and I think it marrs the finish a bit if left outside and a breeze picked up making the cover blow around on the finish, compared to my custom tailored Cali car cover that was made for my 03 mach 1 when I had it was...

I'll shoot you a PM after I take measurements with the hole cut

Oh for sure, I totally agree with you, normal body filler will crack like the other Dodges in my area with similar scoops and as for the bracing we will prolly cut the original braces out when we cut the initial hole which will be the inside perimeter size of the scoop then rebrace after its on...

Since the scoop is made well it does not flex so it won't contour the back area of the hood that has a slight slope This is what I was sayin at the top. The reason why the hood has to be cut and scoop flushed in since both rear corners are flat and won't flex It does...

In my area there are a couple Mopars (72Dart, and 72 Challenger) with scoops and they are botch jobs and they paid more for the install when I asked so I can get an idea of cost for my scoop. @mopardrt I'll post some pics of it just laying on the hood before the install for you.

I bought that exact scoop too from that seller, he makes them I think, quality work! Thick and not flimsy at all, but have yet to mount it on my 72 Dart. I'm having a pro body guy I know install cause he has done a few so I trust him to cut a hole in my hood and lay it in and rivet then...

would it be fine to do the fill with bondo? like the previous owners did but do as what someone said by shooting the metal with primer first then layer bondo over the seems then more primer over the top on the bondo to seal it? Cause the top will go on and cover up any imperfections.

Thanks for all the tips, I like the idea of shooting primer then bondo over then put another layer of primer to seal the bondo. Did the factory use body filler or lead at the roof seems? There was bondo on both sides, the original owners said they replaced the top but I doubt they got rid of any...

Mines not that bad but has a definate line like yours, were the seem is. Are there any tricks to popping off that stainless trim around the rear and front window? I just scored a original front windsheild for 25 bucks might as well replace it if its coming out, got a nasty crack on it when it...

Thanks for the tips as this is my first vinyl top car, me being eager to find out what was under a section of the top, took a box knife and cut a square out at the seem what the bubbling is the bondo cracking and lifting from the rust, definately needs to come off now I have an idea what is...

Hey guys, So my vinyl top is coming off due to rust at the roof seem and it shrank in the other corner, so with the top off and all the glass out should I just repaint the car while I'm at it? I really do not want to spend much as i pretty much lost my job (have not worked for 3 weeks) but I...
