I was just wondering, does anyone make the Charger hood with underhood bracing? The hood in the R/M kits are flat.

If anyone has any leads, could you please let me know?

Thanks.

Modelhaus lists a 69 Charger hood. I ordered one today so won't have it for some time. I am hoping it is the correct hood for a standard 69 Charger and not the one for the Daytona which is different. I have an old MPC Charger 500 body without a hood, so keeping my fingers crossed.

I got a Modelhaus 69 Charger hood today at the swap meet. The difference between the original MPC Charger and the later MPC Charger is the newer versions have some tabs with holes in them in the corner of the hood opening on the body. The new hood has 2 pegs to fit in those holes. The Modelhaus hood is like the old MPC and has 2 hinge like appendages. You can either remove the tabs on the body or the hinge pieces on the old style hood. The hood fits the body perfectly other than the mounting arrangement, which is an easy fix.

I recall the OP wanting a hood with understructure, I think the only way to replicate that is with a thin piece of sheet plastic with various holes cut in to it and glued to the bottom of the hood.
