And yes the hood is going back to stock. You can see the hood in the background that comes with the car.

That was going to be my first question  :rofl: :twothumbsup:

I have a cool picture at home of the car from 1976 when it was in full race form. A hole was cut in the original hood for a massive tunnel ram. During the restoration the previous owner removed the tunnel ram and put the shotgun scoop on it to cover the hole.

I want to drive the car this summer so I am likely to tackle painting and installing the hood over the coming winter. I can swap hoods with whatever mood I am in I guess.

In the picture of the car when it was "new" it had the twin scoops. I think they are hideous so I will stick to the flat hood. The next owner can put those on if they want.
Someday I will have a J0b.

 I also have a special relationship with the Dusters. This is a photograph from summer of 1972 when I bought my 71 convertible. Notice in the background the 70 Duster (my parents car) which is what got me in to Mopars. It was a 318,  3 speed manual with black interior. I loved that color and that car could get up and go. Enjoy your A-body. They're great cars.

This is a very impressive driveway. Solid Mopar family. I do admit shaker Challenger convertible > Duster.

My family is all Ford. I didn't let them brainwash me!
