1969 vs. 1968 Power Bulge hood?

[nacacoachjohn]

Good Afternoon Everyone,
May you projects proceed on schedule and under budget.

Quick Question for those with the knowledge: Does the 1969 Superbee Power Bulge hood also fit the 1968 Superbee?

Yes, only difference I've seen is the 69 hood has a few screw holes in the front lip to mount the plastic filler that closes the gap between the hood & the grill..

The 69 under hood (toward the engine side) has the provisions for the Ramcharger box attachment on the passenger's regardless of the top of the hood is the Bulge hood or Ramcharger hood.

My filler strip is metal. I think they all were?

My filler strip is metal. I think they all were?

The one on my 69 Coronet R/T was metal.

The one on my 69 Coronet R/T was metal.

The one that was on the hood I'm using on my 68 was plastic... Only one I've ever had in my hands..

This is interesting.
A long tim ago I had both years and both ramcharger and power bulge hoods. I never noticed the underside differences.

Yup, I can confirm the hood I have on my 68 has the extra metal on the underside frame...
