I LOVE that hood! It's a masterpiece of industrial design. There's a 'Cuda book and the author said it is the most beautiful muscle car hood ever made. I agree. Do I like it on the Charger? I have to admit, in my opinion, it doesn't take anything away from it. Wonder how hard it was to fit.

Industrial design? Not even a contender. It doesn't even function.
Masterpiece of aesthetic design? Maybe.

That cuda hood is a terrible design in many ways. The challenger hood is a far better design. Biggest thing is that it’s raised all across the center to allow more carb clearance.
And it looks like hell on that beautiful charger. Richard Sias wouldn’t be pleased.

I agree it's a sweet looking hood.. on a Cuda! I also agree that it's a terrible design as far as any functionality goes but so is the Charger hood. To each their own, I caught some crap over turning my Charger into a shaker hood car and could care less.

Hood scoops just don't look right on a 68-70 Charger. Case closed.

Interesting.
Is it going to be made functional?
That's kind of a bitch to do on the Cuda hoods.
Solid pot metal and then sheet metal under it and then a narrow moisture wicking crevice when you're done cutting.
The Challenger hoods can be made functional by simply removing a trim piece
I've always thought a 70 Roadrunner N96 style hood could work on 68-70 Chargers.

When you mess with the design of one of the best auto designs in automotive history, you're open to criticism. Especially when none will equal the original.

It's function is as a hood for the car, you know, so that the engine isn't open to the world, so that it won't get rain and other crap in the engine compartment...
