Who has the widest selection for hood scoops? every time i look somewhere new they always seem to have the same stuff.
Harwood, Summit Racing, Hairy Glass
harwood and summit are among those who have "the same old stuff. hairy glass i've never heard of.
were there any other cars that the 68 cougar scoop came on? i've been looking for 2 days and nobody has 1 yet with a picture.
This place has lots of them but I don't know about a 68 Cougar.

The one I put on mine was the SC-124. Fit the hood good but I did not like the mounting and made my own.

not looking for anything even remotely that extreme. if i can't find a 68 cougar scoop clone then i may just go with a boss 429 scoop.
Like the Pr-63?

are those scoops fiberglass or plastic?
i'll be able to tell you as soon as he emails me back.
This place has a few..

looks like that site just deals with original parts maybe. the 68 cougar hood was all 1 piece. the scoop was not seperate. that's why i had to find a cougar resto shop. cuz not everybody can have a 1968 Cougar XR& GT-E, but everybody wants one. they were the cobra of cougars, until the eliminator came along.
What are you looking for, exactly?
specifically i was looking for a REPRODUCTION of a 68 cougar scoop. an original was impossible cuz it wasn't a seperate part. finally found it at west coast classic cougar and when i get my tax returns i might just have it.
FYI, I talked with them about making a custom hood. They will take any hood they make and combine it with any scoop they have, assuming similar materials.
sounds good. idon't really wanna go new hood though. expensive.
They quoted me roughly parts +$100, so a hood ($400+) (complete underside) and scoop (~$100) = ~$600. If interested, don't bother emailing, just call.
quote from cobranda.com "All of the hood scoops are hand laid fiberglass with 1/4-20 bolts
glued into them."
But i'm also thinkin i might go with the flat faced scoop (looks like a cereal box stapled to your hood) and going with this wing and stripe from a 1970 eliminator. i really don't want to mix and match years.

I already swapped in my 93 tail lights which look very similar to these.
