It's close. My 70 Charger is a California car and has the N95 emissions and N97 noise reduction package (hood insulation) and it rubs the top of the air cleaner lid with factory dual fours street hemi inline carbs set up. Probably about 3/4" from the actual hood.
To me. I think the red tins go with the turquoise color engines better than the red tins go with the orange engines and then the orange tins with the orange engines looks best.
These were either just factory prepped or in some case outsourced drag cars or production every day average family cars at that time. Seems to me the term musclecars didn't become the phrase until the early 80's.
No one expected so many to last 50-60+ years and now have such value.
I missed...
I agree with you on the door scoops on 70 Charger R/T's. That is my least favorite thing about 70 R/T's. I own two 70 Chargers and do prefer them without. However, they have grown on me since one of them i have owned it 37 years now & the other almost 20 years.
If the breathers had that much debris in them. I would buy new breathers and replace them. That may even be some debris from them deteriorating internally. You don't want that going in your engine.
Just keep chipping away at it as you can, even if not for a full day on a Sunday. Unfortunately, with today's junk parts, tools and even equipment, I find myself having to do things sometimes twice more and more often which always makes everything more frustrating.
Buy a sheet metal shrinker and stretcher fab up some replacement pieces using the old cut out metal as templates and weld in all new metal is the best way to go.
Why does everyone that buys one of these or TRX truly believe they have a Pro4 or trophy truck desert racer? I couldn't imagine paying over six figures to destroy it like that.
