 :flame:
Hey All.... just finishing a great rebuild on our blown 440 and this beast needs air.   I want to save ny stock hood and would like to put on a fiberglass hood with a vent of some kind.... shaker style would be cool or should I cut a hole in a hood and bring the Stack up through to get this beast some air...??  PLeas ehelp me out.

Also where can I find a hood that will fit that 68??

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Big Dog

You can buy a fiberglass hood and do what ever you want to it  http://www.up22.com/charger68.htm#top

It is getting hard to find a decent stock hood these days, as far as I know they don't make them in steel yet.

At first i did not want to cut up my perfectly good steel hood, but after trying to get me a fiberglass hood w/scoop ??? ???
I ordered a hood from glasstek in feburary, phone and faxed several times.......still no hood :flame: >:( >:(

So i am gonna make my own cowlscooplike hood in steel :icon_smile_approve:
I have done business with a lot of american firms never had any problems, but glasstek is a POS firm.. if u ask me.

They may have good products, but service suck.....

If you prefer a metal hood I have one already with a HOLE in it.  I have a 70 now so the 69 hood will do me no good.  Fairly clean,  rust wise but needs a good body guy to clean it up and re-tack the under side.

Try these guys out at AAR Quality Fiberglass.  I have seen their stuff and it is very nice and their service is good.
