Chris, I have always been an admirer of your Cuda so I really liked the old look but I guess a Cowl hood would look pretty good on there too. Can't go wrong a car that looks as good as yours. I just finished making my new cowl hood (see below). Hope to see ya at the track this year.

I'm a Cowl fan, mine is a Glasstek 4 3/4" Cowl. I've had it on for about 6 years.

Jim,
That cowl looks sharp on your car!! The cuda has a 70 grille this year and I'm putting real head lights and driving lights in it. I want to get away from the full out race look. Hey just wondering what ever happened to your charger?
Thanks, I really had to do another hood cuz my scoop got damaged when the hood flew off last year.
The Charger got sold to a guy in Australia and he turned around and sold it for double what I sold it to him for. He sold it with the numbers matching engine and kept the 493" I built for it.
Here is a picture of it with the 493" I sold with it, racing down under.
BTW, I do miss that car....

Here's my suggestion to attempt to prevent another Z28 hood scoop going on a beautiful mopar worthy of much more. Use a mopar AAR cuda scoop, you can extend it to the windshield and close the front opening if you need to. Oh and there are SS/AH cars going much faster than 135 using a huge front opening scoop, you have to install the hood and scoop correctly of it will fail, the installation is the problem not the scoop design. The car in the far lane has an AAR scoop that has been raised and looks good and is not a Z28 scoop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE1pVr2dkRE&feature=channel_page

go with the cowl!!! ignore the petty argument that cowl hoods belong only on C**** cars becasuse they were the first to have them. cars that were the first to ever have bucket seats were not Mopars, yet the naysayers have bucket seats in their Mopars..isn't that sacrilegious???  BTW, i have a '68 superstock scooped hood, AND a 4" cowl hood for the Dart.

Bucket seats did come from the factory in Mopars. Cowl hoods never did.
