Would be a shame if it was a real shaker bubble...
It's different, I will say that!
I like it actually.
Kinda looks cool! :1place:
Well: It doesn't look like a Snobar bubble. Lots of originals got holes drilled in them to be bolted to the hood back in the day.

Agree...Mopar should have had an option for this. It looks right to me.
I've seen that done a few times..... And since it was back in the 70's & 80's there's a good chance the parts were real..... One I saw was a shaker grafted to a 69 Charger...
I think the worst shaker atrocity I witnessed was around 76-77 walking through a wrecking yard & it had been raining, puddles everywhere... Someone used a shaker hood to span a puddle & people had been walking on it.... Destroyed what had been a cherry hood...
Then again around 79-80 there was an article in Car Craft about customizing cars & one of the sketches was a Shaker Cuda & the artist was suggesting opening the hole in the hood straight back to the windshield & lengthen the scoop.... :barf:
Looks pretty good
I think that X is lookin' good.
And turbines.
I like it. The guy who did all my sheet metal down here grafted a 71+ Satellite bubble on his Challenger.
When i lived in Utah I saw a baby blue 65 Mustang coupe in a junkyard, very original looking but lots of rust. Only one recognizable mod was a Shaker bubble bolted to the top of the hood. I paid $25.00 for it, original paint 71 scoop with only minor repairs needed. :)
Looks pretty cool to me.
I dig that Challenger hood also!
Me like too....
I will secant that. I would say the craftsmanship on both hoods looked vary good!!! :alan2cents:
A local `70 Super Bee has an original air grabber box hacked out to make room for a modern a/c compressor, I cringe when I see that type of stuff. :o
Hood scoops done right look good. I like the two Mopars above because the fit the cars and are proportionally correct. Back in the late 60s and early seventies transplanting hood scoops was popular. I had a Thunderbolt tear drop on my 55 Chevy 2-door, a 57 T-Bird hood scoop on my 55 Chevy shortened wagon, and a 71 Pontiac T/A hood scoop for my 56 Chevy 2-door. It would be a sin to do this today. LOL. Here are two pics of the hood scoops I altered to fit. The T-Bird scoop needed some modifying at the rear. Actually made a mold of it to pull fiberglass scoops from.
looks cool but I still prefer the air grabber

As cool as shakers are, they are a pain when making carb adjustments where the
air grabber is up out of way and fun to activate! Just no quiver!
