I've been a Mopar fan since university and this car of yours is a fine example of the breed! Love the exhaust note - my brother build a 71 Nova with a BAD attitude 427 and your exhaust note is right up there with his!

A strong wind can blow the hood up, hood prop falls and then the hood slams. Happened to my buddy. And the stock hood pins were on cables that were connected down below near the bumper somewhere, like a 'Cuda or Dart factory Hemi car. They work good and look fine. Also the pin big washers on the hood are not stainless but the screws were, so the washers are prone to rusting. These are the problems my friend had on his. Thought I'd share. Looks awesome. Luv it !! Thanx for sharing.

The hood looks excellent 👌...nice even gap all around. Love this Hemi Hood on your car and the 68 Hemi Cudas also. Fiberglass parts always require body work fine tuning and your friend did a great job. GTS badges look very cool 😎 also. The paint finish is perfect 👌

You know that you did it right when they look like they could've come from the manufacturer that way. I've always thought some of the baddest cars I have ever seen - have primer on em'. Yours is the exception the rule. It's getting to be too nice to drive. 😜

Brother, i have grown up with Mopars. Besides being a dang fine looking body style your Dart is one of the finest examples anywhere. That hood is such a natural fit for that body style. In 68 when Mopar put them on their LO23 project it instantly became the iconic look. Thank you for the update brother. She is looking killer, he definitely knocked it out of the park. They are a bear to get as good as yours is. They were never intended to be that perfect. It was strictly a race car. Edit to add, have you put her on the scales since doing the rear end, cage, hood, etc.?
@SimpsonsSpeedShop11 ай бұрын
Hmmmm ya haven’t re scaled her in a while. I dunno. Will do in spring! Stay tuned!

Great to see you back! Question...If you weren't running the 3" air cleaner, or the carb spacer, how much clearance would you have for the "stock" hood? Running the same heads/intake on my valiant, but using MPFI and a 1000cfm throttle body. Haven't tried the hood yet. How much of an issue am I looking at? Thanks
@SimpsonsSpeedShop11 ай бұрын
The super victor intake won’t fit under a stock hood. Back in the day I hand my air gap, Mopar air cleaner (2 3/8 I think) with a bit of drop base, and it was just rubbing
