Ron, I believe you have started something with the scoop change.

Looked good with the cowl. I hope it doesn't get airborne grabbing all that air at speed, I know my buddy had that peoblem with the hemi scoop and had to put in a lot of pins to keep it on.

I hope so. 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

I love the color,a tail stripe would love nice too but i would of went with a 6-pack scoop instead...a HEMI scoop is too big,for me anyway.
i do love the car though!!!

The Hemi scoop looks great. Much better than the old one.

But then again I'm hardly an impartial critic......

Looks much better with out the flags. I like both hoods, with that Hemi hood you better add more hood pins don't ask me how i know.

The color has more Gold in it now than Orange.
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!

I prefer the cowl hood myself. Like the color, maybe add a tail stripe?

I didn't get rid of the cowl hood Mike. It is painted for my Sons car. I hope to have his progress pics here real soon. He is 16 now and really getting anxious to get it done.
Talk to you soon.
