Are you looking for the original look, or just to fit up the scoop to you existing hood with the fewest complications?

Fewest complications- cut out the existing scoop as close to the molded scoop as possible without cutting the part where the hood extends under the scoop. You can grind the hood flat where needed to clean up any of the molded scoop after. Then see how the new scoop fits the opening you get and trim to suit yourself and the new scoop.

For original look, cut out the scoop and glass in the opening where you need to to get the oval shaped opening you will need, then cut to the original type opening. I can get you the measurements I took off a kirkham if you need them and send you a pic of how I cut mine to fit my scoop if you need. I have pics in my gallery of the shape of the opening I cut to the Kirkham/original spec.

Either way, making that first cut always makes you sweat.....
