Had a few pics on my phone of a stripe I tried to paint on with a spraycan of flat black and a roll of masking tape. Oh yeah and a few/couple beers.
I might actually give it a go in the final project...minus the beer of course

Personally, the scoop doesn't really "work", if you must scoop it I'd either go with a factory single piece bolt on twin scoop, or the earlier year style dual scoops, for a more serious look I'd go with a fiberglass hood with a built in 6 pack scoop

OK so here is the deal, and please no yelling about what I am about to say. I have an E body console from a challenger that I want to put in my Duster...a body of course. Retrofitting it in is no problem since I have been doing this sort of work for 20 years. The question is what aftermarket shifter would you guys put in the car? B&M's are nice but so is Hurst, and then what model and what would fit best. Also need a good fix to removing the gear indicator that would be left on the column. Where can I get a decent replacement???do other models without indicators fit this column?

I really like the 68 S/S scoop on 70-71 Dusters, I'm not sure how they would look on a later Duster though. They would be easy to bend up out of sheet metal if you're low buck. On the shifter I find the aftermarket shifters always feel flimsey and the cable likes to gravitate towards the exhaust system. Personally I would find a factory slapstick out of a 70-75 B/E body and use it. But that's just from previous experience.

I have two hoods now so one will stay stock and I need to decide on the scoop design for the other one yet, but as far as the shifter goes I took your advice and went for the slap stick. I got it for $31 so it was definately cheaper than the aftermarket ones. It doesnt have the T handle on though so I have to find one but everything else is there.

A 74 Road Runner hood bubble grafted on would look wicked if it was not too large to fit the design of the hood.

Looking good! I kick myself for not buying that car. But it's at a good home!

UCUDANT got me thinking about hood scoops again so the following are a few more ideas I am kicking around...

Idea #2...flip the scoops side to side

# 3...scoops in the center

I finally got around to drilling the rims to accept the hub caps too

I changed out the steering wheel again...I like this one in there...I think it has a better feel to it.

In order to get the wheel to work, I cut down an old bent crush can. I had to remove about 2.5 inches which removed the bent area too. bonus. The placement of the wheel is perfect for me now. I still need to get up the ambition to put the slap stick in and remove the column shifter and indicator.

I wanted a pistol grip shifter handle so I grabbed some walnut and an angle grinder and went to work. Not to specs by any means but it fits my hand just right. I will post pics of the adapter once it is finished to show how it will attach to the slap stick.

I posted a while back about making a hood scoop for the car. The Tall one was hard as he!! to see around so I picked up an old beat up Cuda hood and cut the center out of it and the Duster hood and welded the two together.

Here is another angle of the hood. If you fuse a Duster and a Cuda hood...is it a Custer or a Dusda??? ***Please MOPAR purist don't hate me for chopping up a Cuda hood, it was actually pretty banged up and I just gave it new life.***

I am almost ready to start painting...finally...Here is the stripe design I am using. It isn't perfect right now because I just threw it on with some masking tape and flat black paint to get an idea of what it would look like. It is hard to visualize on paper. The Stripe will be done in Viper Silver. Everything below the stripe will be Black and the top of the car above the stripe will be Plum Crazy from the new Challengers.

Nice job on the hood, looks awesome.
