I would use a small clear acrylic rod, so it's not visible to most.

I thought there was another post about this but thought maybe it was on forabodiesonly.

I used a Harwood 210, gold in color (medium tension) with my fiberglass Shaker hood. They also have a 200, silver in color (Light tension) and a 215, black in color (high tension). They are all still much lighter than factory springs.

Looks like an awesome project and I applaud your efforts. Just hope you can find all your needed metal. Everything is always on back order these days.

I have a Goodmark Challenger hood. Fit and finish was as good as factory.

2x2 will help some, but 2×3 through the floors and welded 100% would be much stronger. Mine are c.m. round tubing tieing the sub-frame and into the roll cage as well.

The windshield in my Roached Runner was shattered from the hot sun sitting out in a field for decades. I was going to drive it as is for the rest of the look of the car. However, it was actually unsafe it was so badly broken. My buddy does vehicle glass. He brought me a brand new reproduction...

I just bought a pair. I guess I will try to find out this weekend if they are any different from my faded and tarnished original handles or not.

I have also used the 3M body schutz to apply and also saturated a nappy coarse house roller for paint with the Schutz and rolled over the applied schutz to make the texture look more coarse and more textured. Came out looking good.

On the other side of things. I heated and scraped off all of the factory undercoating off of my Challenger and wiped off the remaining with mineral spirits. Removed from everywhere. The floors, frame rails, wheel wells etc. Once done it was 47 lbs off of the car (now a street/strip car). After...

Agreed. Will just look wrong. 99% of all these customs just ruin a Charger. The 68-70 Charger was 100% perfect from the factory.

Mine is a 70' Charger and it has the original mat still in it. It is a grey plaid pattern in mine. I have never looked or compared a 69' to a 70' to see if they were different.

If someone does decide to install a vinyl top today. It will out live us and probably will not create any rust issues. These cars are no longer daily driven in all weather conditions. Most probably stay in the garage more than they are driven.

I like it as is. I prefer shiny tops. However, more of the Chargers that I have owned have had vinyl tops, including the two I own now.

I would think that the hood hinges wouldn't have faded or discolored too badly seeing how the how was probably closed 90% of it's original life. It is only now at all of the car shows and cruise nights that we all open our hoods. Mine even still match the cars paint color perfectly.

Mine was am AAR that I bought new many years ago and I painted it with organisol with the texture. It shows everything. Don't get any cleaner, decreased or waxes on the finish. I used to just clean with a feather duster.

Always loved that stripe. Just think it should have continued into the doors by a few more inches.

My hood and stripe is painted on in a satin black on my 70. Not organosol though. Was like that when I bought it in the 80's.

No, no wing......

That is one of those colors depending on shop lights, sun light or shade it changes colors of green
