Question about a rear spoiler for 74

[Brads70]

I'd buy a repro 70 t/a spoiler and then modify it with that center swoop-down look. At least then you know the bottom contour and length fit your car with no modifications.

I thought of this. I am just not sure if the abs 70 T/A spoiler is solid abs or has a hollow center? If solid then I would be willing to give it a try and notch the center. 

It has a hollow center, or at least the one I have does.

That's what I would figure. The search continues. Oh and on a side not, I contacted my local dodge dealer and they told me they do not keep new spoilers in stock in the parts department. I was like  And the guy was like yeah! They're special order. Disappointing. I'd hate to be a turd and order one only to cancel but just may have to.

You could mold one out of fiberglass or build it out of steel/aluminum. Doubt you'll find an easy bolt on solution, I'd start building

*****UPDATE******

I decided to purchase a 1970 T/A ducktail spoiler from David at Roseville. I cut and shaped the ABS, heated and built the spoiler back up. Filed, sanded and blended. Now all it needs is primer and organisol paint. I wanted a slightly more aggressive look. It's going to match the front spoiler by Randy great. Very pleased with the results.

OH and I know the spoiler is not mounted in the correct dodge location. I mounted it where I think it looks best.

A 70-71 Challenger named "Shake Down" has a custom-made modern type spoiler.

Shake Down is actually a '73 Challenger...

Not sure how it's "supposed" to look, but you did an awesome job and that's all that matters.

I think it's always best to make your car fit your style.  Life is too short to please the masses.

NIce job , I like the look !!

[Daveh]

Really looks great.  I like the look.   

[dave73]

Awesome! That's exactly how I was thinking you should do it. Looks cool. I mounted mine in the same location, I liked it better there as well

[Katfish]

What is the "right" location?
Looks normal to me?

[JS29]

Nice craftsmanship! 

[anlauto]

Are they hollow inside ? how did you make it whole again ? Looks very cool

Location looks normal to me too ? What is it, a tiny bit further back ?

[918Muscle]

The correct Mopar location is a little further from the chrome tail panel trim. I am just not a fan of that gap. To me it looks more seamless the way I mounted it.

I was curious of the location too so after Googling I took this from the web.

Yes, the spoiler is hollow inside. After cutting the notch, I used the abs that I cut out to fill the same hole. Heat gun to make the abs pliable and shaped it to the opening. Filed ends to make it clean. Used a heat pen and remaining abs pieces to melt and fuse it back together. Then I sanded smooth and put a little bondo on to smooth out any uneven portions (which there wasn't much uneven). Currently the spoiler is ready for primer, final sanding then some organisol black. I'm also painting the tail panel organisol black to match. The job seemed a lot more intimidating then it actually was.
