'Glassing in a Hood Scoop
Here's a few pic's of a simple hood scoop install. The scoop is an L-88 replica with a 4" cowl. I am installing it in a one piece fiberglass front clip. I was lucky. I just kind of eyeballed where it should go. It wasn't until it was all said and done I realized how important it was to be square and even.
I guess my 40 year old eyes are are still pretty sharp. Set scoop on hood to get general idea of measurements... http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...bumpers002.jpg Measure carefully and use zip disc on grinder to cutout location... http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...ngscoop003.jpg Rivet or screw in place, then glass in place with matting or roving... http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...ngscoop008.jpg Mold in with resin and bondo... http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...rogress004.jpg Sand, fill...sand, fill...sand, fill...until it's good to go... http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...rogress001.jpg Paint it...and take it to town... http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w.../hoodup2-2.jpg |
I love that scoop on the Punisher John!
The flames look perfect with it! |
Looks great. I went a little different direction with my Nova. I fabbed a steel stinger hood for it.

Very nice job.
