Thank you for sharing, this is great info!

I am honestly not sure. I am thinking the low tension springs are more for reducing strain on the captive nuts in the hood when closing rather than the lighter weight. Or maybe a bit of both? I definitely want to avoid damaging the hood, but also want to avoid a hood prop if possible

Sorry, search function is my friend, I came across a decent post from a few years back with a few options! Should have dug deeper before posting.

Hi all! Anyone on here running a fiberglass hood, what do you use for lower tension hood hinge springs? After a ton of shopping around for factory replacements, I am pretty certain I have decided on the Six Pack style hood by US Body to replace the non-salvageable hood on my car. I want to...

Nothing photo worthy, but I was able to remove the final interior components including the headliner as @RemCharger noted. I also officially ordered the floor pan components from AMD and they have shipped from GA, hoping they arrive this week. I ended up getting the full front pan and the two...

Thank you for the note! Definitely going to remove it then, avoid the risk of burns from the welding. Just took a cruise out in the Caribbean, nice easy way to unplug! 2.5 hr drive to Port Canaveral (that part is stressful haha) then walk right onto the ship, can't complain! The sand and...

Back from vacation with a fresh tan, I finally got a good chunk of time in on the Charger. I now have most of the interior stripped out. All that remains are the interior components around the windshield and dash. I am not sure how the headliner works, if I am more likely to destroy it during...

Back once again with a little progress. I have been working on pulling more parts off of Voodoo, some going into storage such as the steering wheel and door panels, others going straight in the trash like some of the crusty electronics from the engine bay. The welders I have been talking...

That one is in the family, but not mine. '63 440, getting close to being on the road.

I will definitely be inspecting closely, though preliminary checks seem to look good. I'll be getting the car in the air after the motor, trans and driveshaft are out, and will really poke around thoroughly at that point.

These photos are SUPER helpful! Thank you so much for sharing. My preliminary checks haven't turned up any scary failures in the structural supports under the pan, so I might be able to get away with this approach without added bracing. As you noted, definitely will be thorough in supporting...

BIG progress today! Major thanks to my dad and brother for helping me for a few hours. Got the majority of the floor-relevant interior removed so now you guys get to see the full glory of the floor pans, or lack thereof haha. As I noted before, this was fully disclosed before I bought the...

I am so glad you posted this. Currently just starting the tear out of my carpet, and had not yet taken pictures! The interior appears to have never been apart, so it seems to all be in factory spec. Pics will make it easier come reassembly time. I have a 4 speed car too, I'll try and get...

You are correct, they are different, as are the carb diameters. Shaker Hood used to make a base that fit, but are out of stock. Plus it was quite expensive. Funny timing, I just made a deal with someone on Facebook Marketplace, they had a single quad one listed within my budget so I just...

Thank you kiwigtx for helping me move the post to the correct spot. To anyone new seeing this, hi! Made a little more progress yesterday, managed to do the wrinkle finish on the Mickey Thompson valve covers. Just need to get them baked up for the final cure, and they are ready to go on...

Yeah, I had a poly in my other charger, definitely not that! Closest guess I have is some race specific head to need a monstrous exhaust port like that.

I bought my headers a while back. They were an open-box-but-new kinda deal, insanely good price. They had gaskets in there, which looked like they were opened then taped back closed, but I never really checked them that close. When I went to hang the headers on the 440 the other day, I...

Bit of progress over the last week. I hung the stainless headers on the 440, mostly to get them out of my shed, and to build some more excitement. Not sure if I mentioned this previously, but the motor took a tumble while being transported from one shop to the other. Dented one of the valve...

I appreciate it, trying not to get in my head about it. Just going to push until I get past that project, the rest is stuff I've done before and should be smooth sailing.

It was carefully calculated. Had a small amount of money saved, and was able to sell the other car for a fair price that left money for all the parts needed! I should add that it helped having a ready-to-go big block and 4 speed sitting on the shelf haha. Without that I could have never made...
