A good repro shaker setup will run around $4200 plus shipping and core charge for a flat hood. I just sold Gene Gregory (the guy that actually makes the hoods) a couple of nice flat challenger hoods last week, so he should have a hood in stock. You can get the whole setup through Sixpack Performance.http://www.sixpackperformance.net/Shaker.htmIt's the only way to go. I just installed one of the kits on my 71 cuda last summer.
1 more Bulge Hood vote here.....those lines are as sexy as hell!!!!!! a Challenger, no doubt a Bulge hood is king IMO.
Hey hotrod98.. How much do you get for those flat Hoods??Hey NZ.. I like the bulge hoods on those better then the shaker too.. I just believe the snorkel hood (T/A) is the best
Gene pays $200 per hood for rust free, nice hoods that have no filler or damage.He will buy 70-74 flat barracuda hoods and 70-71 flat challenger hoods. The 72-74 challenger hoods won't work for shaker hoods. The 70-71 chal hoods have the emblem at the front edge and the 72-74 hoods have the name at the front edge.
Definitely the rallye hood on the Challengers, and the shaker hood on the 'cuda's
Am I the only guy who dislikes the shaker hood in general? Well, I wouldn't say dislike, but I prefer most other hoods in comparison. My favorite are the AAR & T/A style hoods, followed by the dual scoop hoods.
I like the looks of them but they are a pain in the ASS!!
Please elaborate dear moderator. Mike
The fit . . the price . . the size . . it covers just about the whole engine so you can't see anything . . like my cool purple carb!
