I was going to see if the underhood bracing for the shaker conversion to a flat Challenger hood? I know it was a few years ago but I have not been able to find the bracing? Also I know I can buy a fiberglass hood for $600.00 plus shipping off Ebay or a steel hood for $750.00 plus shipping, I already bought a Shaker bubble for $100.00 I am going to make the baseplate and shaker grilles myself custom, plus I don't have a flat steel Challenger hood anyway and I have found used decent hoods for $175.00,
add the time it takes me to cut and fab the bracing plus the cost of the bracing and time finishing out with filler and primer, I have a feeling I would be better off just sticking the fiberglass shaker hood on it!!

That's if you're going to bill yourself for the time...:D


That's one of the wonderful things about working on your own stuff. Labor's cheap!
