So with that said i need a tall hood scoop to clear my tunnel ram and find this one on ebay. don't really care that its a Chevy design, just need one that i can run with air cleaners for when i do street driving. there are not that many to pick from that i think would look right on my duster. so just wondering if anybody is running one this tall on the street? just don't want to put it on and have the cops give me a hard time.lol her are the two i am interested in. here is the cowl one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hood-scoop-cowl-...377&vxp=mtr second one http://www.ebay.com/itm/NHRA-Hood-Scoop-...1a8&vxp=mtr here is the one i have on my 73 dart now but not sure if i want to run one on my 73 duster. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Speedway-Fib...88c&vxp=mtr I know everybody's taste are different just looking for some different opinions is all.thanks mopar65 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.

You better go look at resin prices again... if you can find it anywhere near that price I will buy EVERY GAL they have and all they can get at that price... I wouldnt have to nickle and dime my one project which is all fiberglass... and I did buy some cloth but not a lot

I would buy from Tool in 10 5 gallon pail lots .... I honestly do not know how much drums are now .... probably 6-700$.
