RJ, you painting the whole inside of the scoop body color?  Or something like flat black?

Haha yep Chris, your right. lol.
I will be pounding away at it none stop til I get it done.  I may not get it painted but I hope to get it all in primer by wedn.

Probably be body colour.  I want it to be different but subtle enough that you only notice it if you really look at it.

The motor needs a rebuild because it had over 230kms on it when I threw it in, and now the bearings are rattling on start up.  so why not go bigger whenI have a good 351W here that just needs a refreshening.

One thing i have never got around to doing yet i was gonna buy a extra set of TC scoops but with the UPR fenderwell kit i might have to find a smaller scoop that sits closer to the front of the fender.

Got idea form a foxbody mustang that has a hole cut out for the cold air kit will post pics if i can find that mustang again.

Also gonna do something else with the fenders but i can't tell you till its done otherwise i won't be the 1st to have it.

This is a somewhat crazy idea but it looks good just needs some paint to touch it up. ***** 5 stars one of a kind and looks FBA.

here are some updated pics of the progress.  It is all in primer now and should be painted soon.  The Bird now sports a scoop from a '69 MachI too.  For now anyways, til I get the ram air hood finished finished.

Nice, that is clean.  Is it just me or does your whole front clip look like it's drooping?  Maybe it's just the 2 different colors.  Anyhow, glad to see it's taking shape, and it finally has wheels.  Your car is quickly turning into a whole new vehicle.  Keep up the good work.

She's gettin there ron but you gotta put a scoop on the other fender to balance it out,the one looks good but 2 would be even better.
Don't you have a TC front bumper????
If so ya gotta put it on and get rid of that stocker, it'll look so much nicer.
If not ya gotta primer up what's left of the paint on that one.
The ponies are waitin ron, lol.

haha yeah, I got a tc bumper but it is in rough shape.  I will probably primer the front end tomorrow too.  I dont know if I should primer it without flex additive though. :dunno:
