you are to be commended for such a commitment you took on, you truly are the definition of a mopar man. I would name that car Phoenix because of you bringing it from nothing to a masterpiece. I am honored to be in the company of such talented masters. what a wonderful car.
hey Clint , have u thot about buying a fiberglas hood w/ the 6 pack scoop built in to it? that`s what I did, and the body man painted it w/ the car. looks pretty darn good. but, I thot the car looked racier when it was flat black before. also , a fiberglass hood is a pain in the a$$ setting around in the garage while ur working on the car. I bought mine out of a place in Cal., was $500 shipped, about 4 yrs. ago.
car looks outa site !!!!!!!! I found a crack in the paint in my front fender , on top next to the hood, musta leaned on it too hard. also a couple spots where I think it might have been sweated on in the sanding process, it is what it is . still looks about as good as my new one in 1968 ! yours is looking better, if it stays like that .
looks great ! will be kick a$$ w/ a flat , or satin black hood. I have used the john deere black and like it too. it`s what mine was before it went to the body shop. I always made my hood pins out of alum. 3/8" rod, and bought the small safety pins at attwoods. run 3 front,three back, and two in the center of each side(especially w/ a scoop.) tried four , one in each corner back in the day on the hemi, the hood raised up so far , I thot it was going to tear it off, made 1 run that day. don`t let people tell u that a 6 pack , or hemi style scoop won`t take in some air! there is NO DOUBT IN MY MIND, u couldn`t install hoodpins, w/ all you`ve done to that car! I tried the alum.button safety latches about the size of a quarter. they are neat , but hard to get right and will cause you to scar ur paint up if putting the hood on by urself. only have one in the front center now. will look forward to next November.
