LOL! In the earlier pictures I have an opened up scoop from an early 80s mustang. Because the intake is so tall the carb comes up through the hood slighty, putting the carb very close to the scoop, I always wondered if it was restricting air flow. I started looking around for another matching scoop I could modify, since I wanted to reuse the same bolt holes I put in the hood. I found a busted up one at a swapmeet for 10 bucks, that the guy said if he didn't sell, he was going to throw away when he got home, perfect cantidate for reconstuctive surgery. I added around an inch and a half in height, lot of fiberglass work, but it came out pretty decent, but made no improvement!  LOL!  but you never know until you try!
