I ran across this thread again so here is an update. The scoop is functional and now has a F.L.I.R. camera mounted under the operational section so it can be sealed when it rains.

This thread is an absolute fabo classic!!
The poor guy asked for pictures of cowl hoods on dusters. Instead he gets told it's a stupid idea and gets too see a good old fashion chest beating typing match.
If I could help I would but people really need to be able to see something they aren't interested in and carry on instead of telling everyone your opinion on it!
I don't go into the small block section and tell them all that if they were real men they would get a big block.

I know that it's been said in these types of threads before. It's your car. Build it the way you'd like it to be. It's not unusual for a Mopar purist to make a negative comment regarding what they view as a deviation from brand loyalty.
One way to think of the cowl hoods is that the design is not much different than the hoods that were factory original on '70 Roadrunners.

Here's a couple of pictures of mine.

I don't consider it to be ugly. As a matter of fact, I think it works pretty good with the Duster body style. I really do like the look of the factory hood scoops that Chrysler had but this cowl hood provides additional clearance for the carbs and is aerodynamic. It doesn't provide a forced air input like a hood with a front opening. - But it can be set up to block the warmer air from the engine compartment while still allowing cool air in from the outside.

I've thought about buying those SS emblems to mount in the grill of my 70 duster:blob:
