A few questions. First, does anyone make a reproduction hood for the 70 Coronet? Second, is the standard Coronet hood drilled in the braces to mount the N96 Ramcharger package? Does anyone have correct dimensions and positions for the fresh air cutouts and/or mounting holes for the ramcharger or scoops? Where do the hood pins bolt down? Are there brackets or do existing locations near or on the core support need to be drilled? At the risk getting edited... If you are within 300 miles and you've got one for sale PM me. You guys will find out why all the questions in a bit. The story will shrink your balls to the size of raisins...
I’m listening.

Thanks Dirty,
I'll take a look for those holes in the core support when I get to the car tonight. There are several holes in the hood bracing on my current hood (non N-96) but I wondered if Chrysler just drilled all their bracing to make it simple.

Regardless of what anyone here says, my hood was NOT drilled for dual scoops through the bracing.
I have a 70 500 Coronet.

OK, Lindy, spill it. Did something happen to the 'cuda? Tim

So am I. The bracing underneath my hood was not drilled for the dual scoops.

Tim,
I haven't spilled the beans because I don't want to start a moparts crap storm. I'll tell you this. The cuda is sold and I have purchased a BEAUTIFUL 1970 Superbee clone project (roller) in fresh paint and stripes. Problem is that it was delivered last weekend damaged in transit. REALLY damaged...
I am working with the transport company and it's too touchy to make public just yet. As things unfold you will get the whole story. I am really bummed... I am hustling trying to bone up on Coronet information and getting bids on the rapair. The whole thing is a MESS.
Thanks for asking, and stay tuned...
I’m listening.

Sorry to hear that, Lindy. I know you are bummed out about it. '70 Coronets are one of my favorites. I hope it works out for you. P.S. No PM. (Boards been acting kind of funky for me lately. ) Tim

Thanks Tim. I think it will be okay. And I have always LOVED the 70 Bee too. It's been one of my dream cars for as long as I can remember.
I'm experiencing goofyness with moparts PM's also.
