When's the last time you saw a tilt nose '70 Challenger?  :clueless:  Brings back the 70's for me!  :)

They were real popular in the 60s and 70s. Lots of custom pickups and cars had them.

yes I know only not on the Challenger that I ever saw.  I went to the drag strip all the time but never saw a challenger or Barracuda that I can think of that way.  A good friend of mine did a wills and had a flip front on it.

I think MAS fiberglass or some other company still sells whole fiberglass nose sections (fenders/grill one piece design). 

Get that and a fiberglass hood and think of the weight savings!   I have to move around a Rally hood in my shed every so often and they are not light.
