Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread

I'm really not a fan of the squared off nose of the Duster's hood and wanted to find something to alter the look of it. My original plan was an AAR bolt on fiberglass six pack hood but at around $1000 to get one, shipped, from Florida to Washington it ain't happenin. I've always liked the subtle cowl induction bulge of the 70 Road Runner but am not a fan of the 4" and taller cowl induction on a Duster. I stumbled across these pics of an Aspen? with a custom hood that I really like. That hood's shape is similar to the Dusters so I thought about finding a Road Runner hood to try my hand at grafting the skin to the Duster. Nothing cheaper than $400 + shipping was found and I realized I don't have the metal working skills or tools needed to pull that off.
