Custom Hood For My Dart!

-
Looks pretty cool, what is it with us 71 owners :cheers: ? I too am in the process of having a custom hood made, it has an AAR scoop mated to the 71 steel hood and will be functional, pulling in that precious fresh air. Hopfully it will be completed within the next couple months, got the scoop part made now waiting for shipment and then on to the body shop.
 
That is some nice fabrication work there, and the finished product looks really nice.. subtle, yet classy.

Looks AWESOME! I'm going to be doing something similar with my 69 hood and grafting either a Ram SRT-10 or a Charger SRT-8 onto it. I really like what you've done. If I haven problems doing it, I may have to send some stuff your way... Great work!

That sounds like an awesome idea!! If you need some help getting it finished up don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like it.
 
any updates on this hood? Any more pics, is it painted? Also, would you be able to make one out of a fiberglass hood?
 
Well the hood is finally finished! Here she is at the HEMI Phoenix in the fall car show today. What do you think?

BadAss71,

Do you have any more photos of your entire car (interior, exterior, etc..)? Love the '70 Road Runner tail lamps in the rear bumper as well. What other tricks have you performed? Let's see more! PLEASE!

The door handles came from a cuda/challenger. The tail lights as you said are from a road runner, and the hood skin from a 2010 challenger. Here are a couple of other pics.

Your hood turned out really nice! You can pull that off with the lines of the '71 Dart. Don't think it would work with the body shape and lines of the '67-'69 Darts.
Hope you bring it back to MATS next April so I can eyeball it up close. Beautiful car.
 
This car is definitely a looker. One can appreciate the time and energy spent on it.
 
nice looking car, i like the painted bumpers... and just nice car all around, you can tell some time was put into it
 
I saw this car in person yesterday......SWEEEEEEEET is an understatement 8). It was great to meet you D!
 
Thanks for all of the kind words everyone, there have definitely been a lot of long days and late nights put into it. It still has a long ways to go but its at the point where I can actually enjoy driving it and work on it at the same time. Not literally lol. I'm in the process of finishing up the nitrous system, and a few interior things but nothing really major. The hood was one hell of a project by itself. It was very nice to meet you too Cheryl
 
what kind of nitrous style plate/fogger and shot are you going to be running... i run a plate 125-150, i did run a 250 on a built 340 and killed a headgasket.

Im going with a plate style and a 100 shot. The car runs 12.30's at 109 and I think that a 100 shot should get me down around 11.50 hopefully. I can't go any faster until I get a cage and a bunch of other stuff anyway. I will be running the pinks all out here at the end of the month so hopefully I can get the nos kit finished up very soon!
 
Nicely done! Do you have an official build thread going, if not can you make one?
I'm sure there are quite a few people interested in its progress, including myself.

You know I actually don't have a build thread. I have thought about putting one together I just haven't done it yet. I think I have most of the pictures on my dads computer so it shouldn't be too difficult to do. Thanks for the interest and the motivating kick in the pants to do it! I will post a link here when its up!
