It would probably look like this:

It's an AAR hood, it was on the truck when I bought it.

I have been looking for one like it for a while. I have seen them for Gen I Dakotas, but nothing for later bodies. The 'cuda bubble one isn't bad. If you you find some one who makes one or can get one made I would be interested, money permitting.

Perfect example of what I'm talkin about.

Interesting... I've never seen that truck or those parts before.

Everything looks like it was custom made, I wonder how much work it took to graft the Viper bumper onto the front & make that hood. I'm not a big fan of the grille though, it would look better on a 4x4.

i didn't even notice the viper valance at first pass... that's some pretty awesome work right there. i agree about the grille too... better off on a 4x4.

Not a big fan of the way the cowl section of the hood drops back down before the windshield. Would probably look better if it stayed at height till the end of the hood or sloped less. The idea looks good though.:biggthumpup:

its not a r/t ,just a sport,2000 . just a six will a hemi fit??kidding....
i bought it damaged, it skuffed the pass side on something .
i live in rural Nova Scotia its not the middle of nowhere......but i can see it from the deck,, its cold here -26c {c stands for canadian} thats below 0 F in American..the truck is parked for the winter ,waiting for spring to do some more work,

i ve done all the work myself sofar , single stage factory red [i havnt had much luck with clear]..no runs or dry areas but a couple of flys.the hood was an old skin, i 1/4ed it to make it shorter and narrower..the bumper is an early intrepid,...the grill[when i grow up i want a 64//65 barracuda]so i tried to mimic the early grill with driving lights in them this grill is cracked i may swap it over to my winter beater a 97 put the factory one back..the roof is black...the charger gas cap is an old one too .its lowered 2''.
i weld /braze with a torch b/c thats what i have.
