    so as many of you might know, my hood is crap from flying up and bending (twice) i had an idea while looking at my dads 57 bel-air, what if i took my scoops out and welded bel-air rockets into them, my dad has about 7 unrestored bel-airs and my hood is crap anyway. tell me what you think

    Had a picture of a rice-burner with fins, near Toledo O, too dark at AM for picture to work
    I will say this, the person did a lot of work in getting the fins DeSototized!

    Gotta do your own thinking! If the light bulb was never invented, we'd be watching TV in the dark!

    I keep looking at the Mustang hoods from 2000-2004 or so, the ones with the "Grabber-esce" scoops ... wondering when someone will graft some of that to a flat Mav hood.

    Even thinking about using the center section to make a cowl hood for my Explorer.... then will have the scoops and the funky flip-out rear windows. :thumbs2:

    There is someone locally who has done the Mustang hood center graft to a Chevy Pickup, and it looks pretty good.
