Fiberglass hood

[whitesatinmopar]

One of my mods considered for the Dart is a fiberglass hood, I really want an AAR Cuda style actually. Can someone tell me just how much "scupturing" it would take to fit this to a 71 A body? And even is it possible? I'm trying to visualize what it would look like (anyone have photoshop?), and what vendor would be recomended? I want a hinged hood, not a lift off.

I think that would look kind of cool Jim. Would be difficult I think, the Dart hood is a lot flatter than a Cuda hood. If you would be interested in a six pack hood, I am cutting my scoop off my fiberglass chally hood. Making room for the tunnel ram, we could graft that on there. Its yours if you need it.

A six pack fiberglass hood was honestly my first consideration but that AAR Cuda style has me smiling. What ever I end up doing it won't involve the current original hood, it like the rest of the car is in rust free mint condition. And I doubt I'll be able or willing to buy a fiberglass Dart and AAR hood to make a "marriage"..........$$$$$$. Old Scottish farts don't like those considerations. 



Jeff that is what I was referring to in the above post earlier, but after seeing that pic that Chris posted I'm looking $$$ into that possiblility. A glass AAR hood goes for around $750.00 a glass A body for around $300.00, then having the two combined won't be cheap either for shop time and paint.  If someone like AAR fiberglass would do that without having to use two hoods it may cost a little less.?

a customer of miune did a AAR style hood on his 67 Cuda , the hood lenght is just barely enough for the lenght of the scoop but it looks cool

I'm sure if you got a glass hood Jim, we could build the scoop. We have Dennis' car for reference.

  Oh my gawd, I so much want that hood. It looks even better than I had imagened it might. I wonder how you could get in touch with the guy who owns that Duster, see what/how he did that...................too much too expect just a trim and bolt on. But, I may have to get a summer job to afford a $1500.00 hood  now how impractical is that?...............the $$$$$  Me grampa will roll over in his grave, kilt and all.

A good fiberglass co. like AAR will usually do custom work like that for not a lot of $.You just need to cut and paste the scoop on a stock glass dart hood.

I just got off the phone with AAR and they will not mold the AAR scoop into a Dart flat hood, I would need to buy both hoods and have a local body shop do the "marriage", I'll start and look for possibly damaged hoods (should be considerably less $$$) since body work will be neccessary anyway. So if you run across any CHEAP hoods please let me know. Thanks for your help guys.

The guy with the Duster hood is on Hub Garage. His user name is DustAAR.

Thanks Chris, that means joining another forum  but his info. would be great. And since I'm talking Dart he would not need to worry about someone cloneing another Duster like his. You must be a member there Chris, have you talked with him, would you say he seems like the kind of guy who'd be willing to share some information?

In know somebody sells just the AAR scoop but not sure where I saw it.
