I spied a '70 Charger hood I was wondering why people don't modify it to take out the ribs so it looks like a Daytona hood? That is a lot of work on that car, it is looking good, keep it up!

Troy, In rough numbers the stripping, which is a non corrosive process, is in the mid 3,000 range depending on the amount of times it needs to be dunked. That is body, fenders, doors and hood. The e coating is around 750 for the same amount parts. Now factor in 1,700 miles of diesel, hotels, meals and it kicks the better part of 5 grand in the teeth. The labor savings and thoughness of getting rust preventative into all the spaces makes it worth while. The e coating is good for 1,000 hours of salt spray. Figure a collector car and the pampered life they lead I'll be long rotted away before it starts to rot again. Dave, I was on a tight schedule to get this stuff out there. If there are a few spare hours I may do the hood. The car is never leaving the family and will not be shown so I am trying to get the best bang for their labor dollar at this time. It is funny how many other little things are different on a Daytona front end compared to a production 70 Charger. I am thankful 70 stuff at least looks right from the outside. Just how much fun would be had to have to find Daytona specific parts.
