Sooo has everyone checked out Moparrbust cool hood project? The AMX hoods great,but just not getting the required 10 orders to produce thru AAR Fiberglass. Think we could get 10 orders of the Jag's XKR styled super charged functional hood with a CENTER spine? Well just 9 orders for I'll be down for one. Early tax filing return? Maybe 10 Confirmed orders by March?????? Don

 

at least you are trying...

 

I would consider a 'shaker' type hood kit to install on my car. I have seen them on Durangos and they look great. Just like the old Cudas.

 

How about them Dakota's................Woody enjoy

 

Waldig........The pictures you posted looks like the AMX Hood we tried getting orders for.

 

It my 2002 dakota work truck with the 70's hemi cuda shaker hood. I dont see the similarity but... I have started thinking of using the plasma torch this winter on my hood if I cant get a spare, we all agree that we need a hood. I like a zero height hood scoop, like the NASA Langley air inlets from the 70's, no projections, like that one sketch that had a pair of dropped or lowered inlets.

I will make a mold first to get the concept going before I touch my, as the song goes "Black Betty" hood, fear not. WOODY

 

Provide a link to the thread or better yet just bump it if its the one i saw in this srt6 section a while back.

 

That amx hood looks terrible on a crossfire.

 

I think a functional shaker or blower style hood would be awesome but it would have to flow well with the stock curves, I have a image in my mind but I'm no photoshop expert .

 

This is a rough idea behind the hood courtesy of Moparrbust. How awesome would this be for cooling or make those scoops functional!!!

 

YES
Move the Supercharged holes out more & add some of the ribbing from the old hood ??

 

I say just add the center spine to match the roof and call it a day. I would buy that in a minute!!! Next would be to line the "supercharged" intakes to go over the factory placement of the air filters and make this baby functional like a WRX. Cut the top of the factory air box, add a little rubber weather stripping and go!

 

I think its really close as well. The spine is important but can they do something with the grill as well?

 

I also think the AMX hood is quite ugly as well and a shaker hood would kill any elegance this car has.

Using Jaguar styling makes sense on a Crossfire.

 

My only complaint with the stock hood is that its looks way to much like the sebring hood that XKR hood with a center spine added to match the front and top of the car would be very classy.

 

Chrysler did use some of the Crossfires lines on the hood and the interior for the newer sebrings.

 

I think that hood would look sweeeet! Subscribed! I'm not a fan of our current hood. I think it could be done much better.

 

Ok those pics actually look pretty good. Im interested in seeing the final product fit/finish.

 

Actually the AMX hood is not ugly, it is historic and hot in its day. All in the eye of the beholder. I have started getting fiberglas to make up a partial mock up of the hood so that I can get the layout started. I hope saran wrap will release from the hood as I plan to use that as a mold release material to protect the paint when I make the mold.. Well see how this winter progresses on this project.

I think the hood scoop looks really good, but functionality as well as asthetics need to be kept in mind.

I agree with waynesworld move the ports up or out a little more, add the ribs and this would be an awesome looking hood and functional.
