-Molds ? deck lid, rear of fenders and hood ? all of them or no one, but no half of them. Yeah...I would have left off the belt moldings (top of door) and put on the deck lid trim piece.
The rear looks kind of goofy with the 2 corner moldings but no deck lid trim to tie them together. Without the vinyl top trim, the belt moldings look out of place.

Not a fan of them, but if installing on quarter, I was made it the other way around. just like: and maybe even made them functional... ( supossely on supercars are made to cool down brakes &/or engine if rear engine car ) But then you would have a Charger "T/R." Unless he put the R/T on the scoop too . . . Altogether I think the biggest changes I would make would be to black out the chrome and polished aluminum. The supercharger setup isn't my favorite but I'd take it.

not really... you have just to switch them side to side, not put them backwards where to read them will need to spin off your head LOL

LOL......Dave, you would not be able to see the road or oncoming traffic with that monstrosity sticking thru the hood. Good point Tom. Should be used on the track anyways. Still like it for that reason. I'd be very nervous driving it on the street.

LOL......Dave, you would not be able to see the road or oncoming traffic with that monstrosity sticking thru the hood. That's true. Was true with many of those supercharged cars back then, and with many "over the top" rat-rods today. Saw this one at a show in Corruna, MI this past summer. Easy fix on this car though...just dump the twin velocity stacks.

I like those tall SC's about as much as I like super huge rims, but to each their own.

Ran a set of N50-15's on the back of my '74 for a while... looked mean but the rear quarters were always covered in dirt. If Santa brought me this car for Christmas, I'd add a black vinyl roof with the correct moldings, replace the front grilles with stock ones, loose the 2nd gen scoops and add the missing trim molding. I could live with the engine & exhaust. Interesting there are no interior photos, makes me wonder what's hiddin' in there.

When you put the fake vent on the front fender, it aligns with the air filters, but on the rear fender it aligns with the opera windows. On a 71 or 72 with nothing sticking out of the hood, it might be better on the doors? Having the vent in the back also reminds me of this - The way the vent matches the vertical lines of the opera windows is similar to the way the fender vent and the b pillar vent work together on the Mustang. I'm sure the only thing that bothers me about the vent is knowing it doesn't go there. If Chrysler had pressed in some shark gills there, like on the 71 R/T doors, people would be falling over each other to get those fenders.
