Thanks everyone !
What a weekend of......,Blew the hood off and shattered the windshield. I towed back home and with the help of my friends and (luckily i throw nothing away)had a spare shield and a cowl hood that was on the car when i bought it.Got done at 2 am got up at 6 and heading back to the track. Qualified 22 with a 8.537. Sunday was game on ! Third round, I went to grab the shoot and there was no mount for the launcher (broke off [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean]!).I borrowed a friends mount and got it together.
With the new hood ,shoot launcher and the car needing paint I think I'm even .So that's still a good weekend
that kind of effort is what it takes to be a winner
It's almost impossible to run at that level without the help of a few good friends.Every race is a new adventure and memory.Adam,you had your hand full and luck was on your side.Great job
HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!

Gup, have to ask since i'm installing my hood right now, with all the dzus fasteners you have, what went wrong?
Congrats on the win Guppy....I think the first hood was a 6pac style and the 155+ mph took its toll on it. Hate to say it but the cowl hood scoop looks better on the Demon/Duster.

The hood had a 1/4 piece of round tube welded the rad support It's been like that since I built the car in 05 . It just bent up and the Air got under it and it was over . I need to weld a support down to the Bottom . Similar to the way the factory hood latch hold down was . This will prevent it from pulling up

I don't think the hood looks bad on the car . But it's mopar powered and not a chevy. Whenever that hood is On it people ask if it has a chevy engine . I like the 6 pack hood better I like the stock apprering body
