Well the Air Grabber would no longer fit due to the victor intake,so how's this look?

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

Looks good. Paint it orange with stock black stripes going down it.

I think that would look the best also
Posted By: biggerredz71

Re: New hood,what do you think? - 11/22/09 07:31 PM

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.

Re: New hood,what do you think? - 11/22/09 08:52 PM

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.

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.

Re: New hood,what do you think? - 11/22/09 11:34 PM

Looks good. I like flat black.

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...

Re: New hood,what do you think? - 11/23/09 12:19 AM

That hood looks excellent...is that a glastek?

i dont know bout the color...black, orange or a combination would all look good.

Re: New hood,what do you think? - 11/23/09 12:28 AM

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.
