So I set out to install the Hemi hood and take the checkered flag off the front fenders, and ended up sanding the whole car and painting it because the color didn't quite match . It will take some getting used to, lol, but at least the Hemi scoop is on now. More pics when it's finished bolted back together. Do you like it better this way? here is the old paint 5199316-100_1324.JPG (225 downloads) It's a bigblock with a torque flight!!!

At the front anyway. I didn't get the motor in yet to see where the carb is going to be for sure. I think it will be fine. I don't plan on going too much faster with this car. And you have been 160 plus mph, so I'm sure my measly 145 to 150 will be ok. Thanks again for your help Tony.

Thanks again for your help Tony. even at 140+ you need that support in the center. Without it ,you will see the scoop BULGED at the finish line for sure...dont forget, i got a nice camera now so if you need more detailed pics of what i got, let me know.... Fresh paint looks great nice job ....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....

I love the vintage look on our Mopars with the correct scoop that was used on them. And the 68 Dart's and Cuda's look just right with the correct Hemi scoop. Ron

It will have the GTS tail stripe on it and I'm now debating on putting the vinyl top back on it, but not 100% sure yet. I have added enough weight to it, lol. I just finished up all the trim and front bumper this evening, and that makes a big difference. When I get the tail panel on and the motor back in, I'll take a few more pics. Thanks guys for the compliments!
