Title: Stupid Question on Hoods
Post by: rayderluvr on January 24, 2013, 11:41:09 AM
I need a new hood for my '73 Charger. I have found what appears to be a nice flat hood from a '74 Charger on CL. Is there any difference between the '73 and '74 hoods?

Yes, 74 hoods do NOT have the cowl vents.  Hense you will have no place to put the wiper nozzles and have to find the set up to move it to your wipers.

There are no stupid questions. Ask away.

I don't know where you're at but I have two of the flat style '73 hoods that i'll be looking to get rid of because of the direction i'm going with my project.

I'm located west of Katy, Texas.

Thanks for the information! I guess I have to find a '73 hood..

Here is a 73 bulge hood little pricey IMO, but it's here in Indiana.     http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/pts/3564988728.html
