    I was playing around with the hood I picked up and well I cut some holes in it for these 88 thunderbird scoops I have had forever. Not bad

    I don't like it. They look too out in the open.

    i like it, and it could actually be functional...i think with some body work and primer you can mold them in and they would look great, i was gona try some mid 90's mustang scoops myself but i dont have an extra hood i can play with just yet

    I agree, I would need to shave the front hump and blend it into the front lip. This way there would be a smooth transition to the scoops.

    I was just drinking and thinking so I cut it up. My plan for the hood is to graft a 71-73 NACA mach 1 hood to the frame. Soon as I have enough money to buy a reproduction hood $350ish. I'll get started.......I think I can I think I can
