Ralley Hood

[polarbear123]

I looking to buy a new ralley hood for a 1970 Cuda. Who makes the best one?

As far as I know there is only one company making the Cuda ralley hood and that is Goodmark.  Maybe someone knows of another company.

Anyway, here is a link to a company in AZ that has a good price on the ralley hood right now:

I can't say much about these guys as I have never purchased anything from them but I do believe this is a good price and the company is reputable.

My GOODMARK hood was "pretty good", but needed some minor body work. 

The pressing puts little raised bubbles at the corners where the hood scoops meet the hood/body lines... 

I couldnt get a good alignment trial fitting in the garage (gaps) but my body man did somehow.

It also has the holes already for hood emblems which I cannot say if they fit ALL of the emblems.  The 340cuda ones I had on hand lined up.  Not sure if the 440sixbarrel fourbarrel (or others) have the same pin spacing. 

You also will have to place the hood pins if you want them. 

You will have to open up the scoop holes to gain good alignment/seating as they aren't perfect.

Add holes for the PLYMOUTH emblem if desired but the underhood was ready for it.

Hinge anchor nuts were slightly mis-aligned to the sheetmetal making the bolts a little tricky.

I'd score it a 7 or 8 out of 10, but would not compare to OEM if your looking for that kind of resto.
