Obviously the hinges would need to be beefed up, but at this point its the
only idea thats sticking. Frank just fixed up an 00 durango, so weve got a
spare hood to play with.
If all else fails, i'll grab the largest can of bondo I can get my grubby
little mits on, and make a SRT-10 style hood. I know keystone makes them,
but theyre not quite what I want. Plus, playing with bondo is fun!
