I know, I know, I've asked this question before, but I can't find it for the life of me. Question is; Can a 71' through 73' Dodge Charger power bulge hood fit onto a 73' Dodge Coronet?
Any draw backs, modifications needed, fitment issues?

Appreciated.

The Charger hood is decently longer than a Satellite sedan hood, if that helps any. I'd say around 8-9 inches longer.

Uh, notgofit.

Why 71/73 and no 74? lol

Hood will get same width and rear edge shape will match with windshield, but seriouslly doubt about the lenght. Definitelly the front shape won't match with bumper. Anything can be done with tools and skills thought

just bolt the hood on, then "file" off the excess length.

71 Charger hood is 68 in long
71 Coronet hood is 63 1/2 in long

Okay, so that solves the mystery Charger to Coronet hood question which my friend Special K verified but I went beyond to ask the Charger owners on here.
Oh well, I guess I'll find a donor hood to extract the bulge and weld it to my Coronet hood.
The battle of the Bulge continues.

I would also guess that a 71' Charger hood length is the same as a 73' or 74'?

yeap, practically same hood in fact. Diffs are on rear grilles and a front beam reinforcement, being a bit longer on 71/72s

Man, one of these year 71' - 74' Chargers would be killer with a Hellcat drivetrain. Almost the same weight, but weight could removed much easier and more evasive on a Charger rather than a new Challenger I guess.

Yeah and the Hell Cat is being made in kit form to install in vintage rides.

i can't believe you want to GAIN weight !

Only to mold one out of the light alloy stuff. LOL.
Nah, Wishful fence climbing at the moment and just a little bulge won't stretch too much xtra metal onto the existing hood anyways. "The Palm Reader" would not add too much material anyway since he's got the lightweight fever as well.

I just love that Charger hood and my four door would look cool with one on board. Who knows, perhaps there is a Hellcat coming to the cars litter box in the future. LOL.

Either way, I've gotta get a certain black car out on the street again and this candy picking has to take a back seat for now. If it was a bolt on, I would have pulled the trigger by now.

I like the way you think. To pull it off, you'd probably have to find someone who is a d@#n good welder and graft just the skin of the Charger hood to the Coronet's hood.

I often think about grafting the bulge from a '73 RR to the hood of my wagon. I know there is no way to make the stock RR hood fit as a whole.

Charger with a Coronet grill/bumper. I Imagine you could do the opposite.

My plan would be to graft only the bulge portion on to my existing coronet hood. I do know an excellent welder who works on military grade projects and he has welded most of my other stuff (Titanium, Aluminum, Military Stainless, Chrome-Moly) on the light weight car. Then I would hire the talents of "The Palm Reader" who is a military grade body work guy himself.

Pretty sure you would be able to use the 75% of the buldged hood skin from rear and side to side, not just the bulge, and attach it to the existant hood frame, just using the front edge of your existant hood. Will need to get flattened the hood middle line thought. So could be easier than you think.
