Hood scoop help needed

[bmwdb10]

Doug,

Just went out and checked mine. If you put this scoop flat on the floor, does it sit flat all the way around? The hood on has got a slight curve to it as should the scoop. Sounds like yours was cast with the outside edges made flat. I would guess it was meant to be bonded to the hood. I like the looks of the weber style.... my vote!

Doug,

Just busting your chops....
The original aluminum hoods (I have purchased one) are very flexible and would give where the glass hood is rock solid. Also what did CR mold their scoop from? How did Shelby do it in the 60's? Many questions here which still bring me to the same result, nothing is a perfect fit on these cars. There is always work to fit.

Dave used to work alot of glass, listen to him.

I will PM you....Jeff

Thanks, Dave. I called Kirkham, they'll sell me an aluminum scoop, and Bobby by me has a fiberglass one that I'll take a look at to see if it's usable. I guess I'll take it from there. Thanks for the info. One of these years I may actually drive this thing.
