Indy was successful. I ran into a neaby Mopar acquaintance at he event. I said my decision on going with a shaker would depend on if i found a hood. He gave me a 70 flat hood with a hole cut out. He bought it cheap for a wall hanger.

I delivered it today to the builder. Now the investment will be in the bracing kit and ring.
Hopefully one of the shaker vendors will have a discount at some point, to minimize the cost.
