Another hood question

[Drewhelm]

Thanks. It was a lot of work, but worth it in the end.

Hey Drew,
How did you go about fabbing the stinger scoop onto your hood? An excellent mod by the way. I have been studying this same thing for my 67 firebird.

I basically bought a Fiberglass stinger scoop, positioned it on the hood where I wanted it, traced the outline with a sharpy, removed, measured 1/2 inch inside line and then cut the hole in the hood. I then screwed the scoop to the hood and then glased the scoop to the hood from the inside. When made the transition on the top of the hood using duraglass, sanded smooth then used glasing putty to get it straight. Lots of sanding, re-applying putty and re-sanding. The scoop fit like it was made for the firebird hood.

Here's a newer pic.....picking the car up from paint tomorrow. They are color sanding and polishing today....
