Looks great. Shouldn't the cowl be closer to windshield to work properly.

I like it! But yes, it needs to be closer to the windshield to draw air in. CHIP

Yeah that would look,since the black stripes are still on the cowl panel.I dont think the lines will look right because i beleive the stripe will be on part of the side of cowl.

I would have to see a good picture from above to see where the lines end up, but i think it can be made to work somehow and would look the best that way.

I'm not a fan of cowl hoods on Mopars.I like the taller 6 pak style better.

Cowl hoods rule! Looks great man, paint it orange and add the factory stripes as suggested above and it will be awsome!

love it

i like the way cowl hoods look and i also like the way forward scoops look (like mine). other than for clearance i don't see why anyone would combine the two? i don't like the way that looks.

Will you guys get off it with the chevy remarks? I mean Jesus Christ, it's the guys MOPAR and he can put whatever hoodscoop on it he likes. I think that cowl hoods look good on square bodied B and A bodies. I'm actually looking at one for my 68 valiant myself.

And just an FYI, these guys running 6-pack scoops on anything other than a 69 roadrunner or superbee are as wrong also. That scoop wasn't designed for anything else, and doesn't belong on anything else IMO. If i see another duster, dart, coronet, etc... With a 6-pack hoodscoop on it i'll puke...

I would extend the cowl towards the windshield and seal it to the carb...that should pick up pressure off the windshield to ram air down the carb...

I actually saw a car yesterday at Maryland like that! He had a flapper scoop on the front side of the cowl. I hope Drag440 comes along to verify, because we both looked at it. A first for me.

Not a big fan of those hoods even on a Chevy.

But it is your car and if you like it my opinion don't mean squat. Enjoy it!

Now since it is already on it I say go body color with the hood then do a modified strip down the center. Something like the Air Grabbers had.

I would love to see someone take the air grabber design and step up the center section to 4" or 5", and add a longer flip up air grabber section. I suck a photo shop, otherwise I would try to make one.

In any case, I like the rest of your car, and probably after some color the hood will look ok too.
