It was a material commonly used in the RIM and compression molding process. A multi component mixture of resins, plasticizers, and filler solids used to add structure (glass fibers, talc, etc. most of which are engineered to be highly resistant to fire and heat). The resins were a catalyzed mix that were blended and molded under heat and pressure. The process required very expensive tooling and machines to run them in, not practical to reproduce in our world, the minimum numbers are far too small to make the venture economical. This is why todays reproductions are all fiberglass, no real tooling costs, low cost materials, made one at a time with no large runs required.

I am not looking for 100% accuracy just want the look as I will be running a high rise single manifold with a Dominator so I will be modifying & making a drop base anyway. Who's would be the best looking for the least expensive $ amount??? 1963 Belvedere 440 Max Wedge Tribute 1970 Charger R/T S.E. 440 Six Pack 1970 Challenger R/T, 528 Hemi 1970 Charger 500 S.E. 440 4 BBL 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 383 1974 Chrysler New Yorker 440 1996 2500 RAM 488 V-10 4X4 2004 3500 Dually Cummins 4x4 2012 Challenger R/T Classic.

In that case, light weight is your friend for a strip car, fiberglass shaker hood, lift off or bolt on, with a fiberglass scoop attached to the underside of the hood, still functional as far as fresh air, but without the hassle of baseplates, cables, aircleaners,seals, doors, etc, this way you could run any aircleaner/carb set under the scoop you desired, several vendors offer this set up Mike

Also thought about just running the carb & air cleaner thru the shaker hole in the hood. Anyone else try this? Will it still work with the offset engine placement & the hole being centered??? 1963 Belvedere 440 Max Wedge Tribute 1970 Charger R/T S.E. 440 Six Pack 1970 Challenger R/T, 528 Hemi 1970 Charger 500 S.E. 440 4 BBL 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 383 1974 Chrysler New Yorker 440 1996 2500 RAM 488 V-10 4X4 2004 3500 Dually Cummins 4x4 2012 Challenger R/T Classic.

They said the ring comes from shakerhood.com I know they did not fit perfect from the factory but just be aware that you will need to put some time into making it fit if you get it from them, they forget to tell you about that part. The shaker stuff Year One sells from what I have found is no better than anyone else it just cost a lot more.

Bought the complete kit from six pack performance (minus hood).Art will paint the bubble what ever color and install the grills (which I am told is a real PIA).Fit and finish was excellent.I used a BE&A trim ring and a hood from Shermans (which I believe was from Goodmark)and I am satisfied with the end results. My paint guy said the hood needed minor work and fit very well for an aftermarket product.I would call Art at Six Pack Performance and talk to him about putting together a package deal. Just my opinion.Good luck!

I just installed a shaker on my Cuda and used a bubble that I got directly from GG. There is a lot of fit and finish required for the grills and hot/cold doors including drilling and tapping for all of the fasteners. Just a warning these bubbles are no where close to finished. Letting Art do it for you may be a strong factor in your choice. Also Roseville parts sells some really nice finished grills. Bryan 1971 BS23H1B
