You may want to put a brace of some sort, centered, in the front of the scoop to the hood. I have heard of that style sagging and cracking without support. Just FYI from what has been posted.
Great looking car, love the hood.

I like the decals, but the clean look aint bad either... the rest of the car sure is clean.
 
Very nice work, absolutely beautiful Dart. The 72's and that badass grill are under appreciated IMO.
 
OK working lots of Hrs. now so working on the Dart is getting harder but have made some progress....:sleepy5: oh and does enyone no where i can get a stock water neck in stead on the chrome unit?
