I already have a hood and trim ring.  Is there anyone that sells the other parts to make an authentic looking functional setup?

While I have yet to see 100% perfect reproductions of the bubble and other under hood parts (nothing beats original parts for the small details) there are some pretty noticeable differences between the various vendors of the reproductions out there. IMO If you want the best reproductions out there I'd reccomend Six Pack Performance, they carry and sell Gene Gregory's Shaker parts. They are likely the highest prices you'll find as well but it's a good case for "You get what you pay for" some lower cost reproductions are simply garbage....

Anyone know when these new hoods are for sale? I can't see them online or even advertised as: "Being available or Coming soon!!". Also, if anyone gets one please let the rest of us know. I have money in hand & I'm ready to buy as the dollar is strong but slowly dropping back down. Also, if anyone knows of a real shaker hood, please let me know.

That e-bay hood went for $3500. Sounds cheap for an original hood. I bought my entire repro setup from Six Pack performance. I was very pleased.

I need that stone shield for my 69 runner. Never thought that I would see them reproduced and you never see one at a swap meet. I'm glad that I waited about restoring my other 71 Cuda. With all of these new parts, I can make it look like new again.

I talked to this guy... he does shakers too :  Gean Gregory Alhambra, IL 618-488-7941


Here's another on ebay : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hemi-Cuda-Cuda-E-Body-1970-1974-Shaker-Hood_W0QQitemZ140150825684QQihZ004QQcategoryZ140705QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

This is where I got mine. It was okay but needed a lot of body work to get it straight for black. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Shaker-Hood-Cuda-Challenger-E-Body_W0QQitemZ160150118961QQihZ006QQcategoryZ10076QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

NZ, make sure you get one that isn't banged up or warped since you're going with black. I went through two to get one I could work with.

The hood listed above didn't meet reserve. It only got to $3500.00. I'd only worry about getting an original if I had an N96 car. Short of that I'd
put the money else where.


Here is is agian, didn't meet reserve, maybe make a deal?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1970-Original-Cuda-Shaker-Hood_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34204QQihZ006QQitemZ160148037623QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Gene is the source for the stuff that Six Pack Performance sells. IMO they sell the best under hood parts (the bubble down). If you want the most accurate hood (the steel hood and trim ring) you'll likely find what I sell to be the most accurate parts available anywhere (this includes the new complete hoods that AMD sells). If you want more infor I'll be glad to help you, just give me a call.
