Superbird nose?

I bought a 69 charger that someone was trying to recreate the concept car they called the supercharger.  Im putting the car back as a regular charger but I want to sell the nose they put on it.  The nose looks to be new because there is not a dent or ding anywhere in it besides what they was doing in the middle of it. They was adding a ridge down the middle but I thought superbird cars had that ridge on them already. Can't seem to get the pictures to upload

Chances are that it's a daytona nose, as the bird nose is rather larger, and even if cut down presents a lot of changes to match the Charger fender contour, as well as hood profile/contour...by "not a dent or ding" I assume it's steel?

Either the pics are too large?, or if your getting a "sorry but that pic is already posted" type of response, just rename the pic something like "XXXXXXXXXX5555555534" or something ridicules, as that seems the only way to post pics here

yep that's (was) a bird nose!, still repairable though, hard to tell if it's original or repro...Z bars and Channels appear steel as well


Too bad they cut a Bird nose for the project, as a Daytona nose was actually used on the SuperCharger showcar

I'm trying to upload some pictures of the car they was working on. It will make you sick. I had this car blasted and it is 99.9 percent rust free car. Not one single pit of rust on the upper or lower part of the floors or trunk

Here is a picture of the real Supercharger I took in the mid 1990's.

I think it might be a Jack McGauhey steel nose, from the sides being multi pieces.

If we think it was one of Jacks noses, what was he selling them for?

Black. The epoxy primer I sprayed was like a green color
