Operation Superbird hood repair; Looking for a 70 B-hood, more specifically a 70 Coronet.
Blue hood is the '70 Coronet hood I have now, the cleaned/yellow is the original Superbird hood
Question, any B-body underhood support structure would work? Or not? Mike G?

They front underside part of the superbird hood is unique. Yes, I agree.... I was looking to transfer the underside frame work on my hood out since it has corrosion. The top skin is pretty nice.... I was curious of the underside frame work of a '70 Coronet was similar, if not the same, as that of say, a '70 Belvedere or Charger.... But I did find today a real nice '70 Coronet hood for $250.... So, that is good...

there's a thread on dodge-charger where somebody shows the details of what gets modified top & bottom from a Coronet hood to create a Superbird hood you need flat Coronet hood, upper panel Superbird hood extension & underside Superbird filler panel nothing Charger or Belvedere will help

I got a 70 Coronet hood today....
The inner structure is what I was looking for comparisons... But, the '70 Coronet inner structure is what is used with it trimmed in the leading edge to facilitate the installation of the extension.... So, looks like it is a mute point thread now... So, we'll take the outer skin and both the upper and lower extension portions and replace the inner structure from the good Coronet hood I just got and mate it to the Superbird panels....
