So I'm looking towards a fiberglass cowl hood setup for my challenger build as I'm likely going to have clearance issues. I've only found one site that sells them, Unlimited fiberglass. Has anyone used them? Has anyone found alternate fiberglass hood options? Any common serious fitment issues?

Something like this won't work.? Has to be a cowl? What are you building?

Going to run a victor intake with a nitrous plate setup on a 440. It's a gamble buying a new R/T style hood because I don't think it will fit with this setup.

I'm running a Torker II on a stock hood. I know the Victor is taller plus the nitrous plate may give you limited options.
You might have to custom fabricate a scoop or cowl.  Any pics of your build?

Will a lift off rallye hood work? Less bracing?a

T/A hood looks Mopar, is Mopar & gives quite a bit of room...

Unlimited is usually not so good. I order Glasstek for my customers if I have to.

Here it is. It's a T/A hood. Just in case.

I have seen the AAR Quality Fiberglass site before. They look like they make nice stuff and they have several options for your car.

I really like their integrated "Shaker Hood" if it works as well as it looks not bad. Will keep an eye on this thread, thanks.  :popcorn:

70 T/A hoods are sharp. Here's another option, one I've seen a few times, not very often. This one looks like the whole hood bubbles up in additional to the scoop. Don't know who makes it.

That looks very similar to the hood on my 68 Charger. The scoop is integrated into the hood, not attached to it like in the Dart picture. It looks really good. Sorry, don't know who made it.
