Here is an example of what you can find after having a Challenger shaker hood stripped.

This hood was clean and relatively undamaged in the nose section (usually very vulnerable to rust and/or collision damage). However, per the photo someone has attempted to reattach an original shaker underbrace by both brazing it and beating the living daylights out of it.

With paint on it, there was no indication of the horrors underneath. So be careful before you drop $2K or more on an original.

Suffice it to say, I won't be using this hood....
