Alternative to hood scoop...

[Michael C Henry]

Not that one , I'm talking about the aluminum scoop by Morris > Time and NASCAR has shown that cowl induction at the windshield works better at speed. I like the elaborate chin splitter but it would not work on street driven car on a track yes, BUT

The gloss black fiberglass car and wide hood scoop with the opening near the front edge of the hood is a replica of the two original Super Snakes, Shelby made with twin belt driven Paxton super chargers. One was supposed to be for Bill Cosby. Not sure if Bill returned it or what. It didn't work for him.

Yes, cowl induction is way better for cold air, especially over a fibreglass bonnet.

It's been several years since the build. How did that cowl induction scoop work? What would you have done differently? Have you made any more cowl scoops to fit Cobra replicas? Did you make any patterns or mock-ups, molds? Fiberglass or aluminum? What were the approximant dimensions of this scoop? It is a beautiful piece. I'd be interested in a copy, fiberglass or aluminum.. I have an old EM fiberglass replica, This is the thing that I would change on my car.
