are you going to blend the tip of that into the hood? it kinda looks like one that gets held on with 3M tape right now. not sure what to think about it but im sure it will look good after your done or get it flat black

actually it is the scoop from a 79 Camaro.  I had to chop off the bolt bosses, then cut out a hole right under where the scoop goes down, and attach it to the hood with Seam sealer.  Thinking about molding it in, but I learned my lesson with the first hood I built.  everytime you close the hood the vibrations will lead to cracks.

Is seam sealer the only thing adhearing it to the hood?

Yep Mikey, I'd say it's functional.  Looks BA on there too I might add.  RJ, you keep this up, and I'm gonna have to send you the hood off of my Jeep and a good chunk of change and have you fab something up for me.:D

well, it is done.... For now....  And no, it isn't functional, but I could probably make it so. especially if it was carbed...  I have to redo it because I did a py job sanding it, and my paint gun screwed up, so I will let the paint cure and resand it properly and paint it again.

Hey RJ, think you can make one like this?


Kinda one step farther then what was on the blue bird, and an SVO style, but I like it. Yours just kinda reminded me of it

I know the guy that did that. Thats a factory svo hood scoop grafted into a factory tbird hood. all steel
he has hundreds of hours in that hood, still has the car too, but its being parted. That hood is going on a customer car.

Yeah, if I could find a wrecked SVO to cut the scoop out of I could.  That is what I thought the camaros had, I was going to cut it out and weld it in, but maros use a bolt on style.

i'm just glad you didn't keep it the original reddish color. looked a little too much like a particular part of the female anatomy...
