It's a 70 super bee scoop mated to a charger hood. Or a modified superbee hood to fit a charger... That doesn't change things. The split grille on the '70 Coronet ALSO looked like a Pontiac.

Look at a 67-69 Firebird or any other Pontiac from the 60s and look again at the 70 Coronet. Most Mopars didn't use the divided grille the way Pontiac did.

I was gonna put some kind ov available bolt-on dam on my Challenger, but i've seen so many and handled many more (working with hot rod parts) that i just cant see them holding up at any serious speeds. The plastic in itself is likely strong enough, but that particular area sees a LOT ov stress. At what speed do the plastic/FG ones become dangerous...??? 120mph? 140mph? 150...??? So far I'm thinking ov a factory looking (not T/A style) piece, a little larger in area, made from aluminum.
