Glassteks web site is a train wreck....
Can someone tell me what the difference was between the 64-65 and the 66-67 SS HEMI scoops?
67 RO23 clone with 6.1 SRT Hemi and dual quads. Soon to have Drag Pak induction and Throttle body.

Correct, original AFX cars used the bolt on 64/65 Race Hemi scoops (64 was aluminum, 65 was thin steel, same exact shape and size). Altered (higher) opening hight fiberglass versions came later from the aftermarket.
Interesting. I thought all Altered wheel base cars used fiberglass hoods along with doors fenders, dash and decklids. So both of these cars came thru with steel hoods? what about the add that shows fiberglass parts?

Glasstek only offers the scoop like everyone else.

Lee here.
I believe you have to get them separately since I have never seen a one piece unit. When no one was considering the AFX scoop, I went ahead and made my own out of aluminum. I believe that there is a fiberglass one made currently. I just don't remember the company and or the distributor.
Hard to beleive it may be only available as seperate peices. I wonder who made the Peddler hood and the S&M hood.

The basic shape of the scoop is very close. The difference is that the 64/65 scoop has a curved rear edge that follows the rear of the hood/cowl gap (radiused). The 67 is straight across the back. My 64 has a 67 scoop, no ones ever noticed.

The altered opening and taller opening scoops you see on a lot of clones and restorations these days are often later aftermarket versions modified for extra height, etc.
What about the pics that show these hoods back in 1965?

They do look almost the same. I mean the 64-65 Hemi scoop compared to the 67 RO/WO scoop. Ron

Looking at this ad of the 65 dodge fiberglass(80 pounds) kinda confirms my contention that a 63-65 b-body could be under 3000 pounds. There was another post that was asking that very question and most guys didn't think so. Wanna know? take off all the steel parts pictured then weight the car and add 100 pounds for glass and paint. Would be interesting to see.

Ralph. There are a couple of AFX scoops out there in glass. You'll have to mold mend it to your glass hood to be period correct. Like said here Glasstech makes some good stuff and odd at that.
If not, just make your own. TXS I've been to Glasstech sight and they seem to have some nice stuff. But everything I have found will need to be molded together. My goal is to get as close to the original as possible.

Years ago, probably mid 70's , there was a awb car out of Grand Rapids Michigan that came to the track one weekend. only came once never seen it again. That car had a bubble windshield in it. Anyone ever seen a bubble windshield in these cars before?
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I'm down, but ever so slightly altered to be detected or acknowledged. Hope to make some of the events. You can represent the 2% cars.

2% wheelbase alteration. Usually 3-5 inches forward. No vent windows and countless aluminum trick parts throughout.
Here's the Ramcharger 2% in action. It still has the vent windows in place. Only four post cars made in 64' and four hardtop cars made in 65'

Here's a clearer look at the 2% 65' Hardtop specimen.
These and the prior 64'2% were the predecessors to the more commonly known 10/15 Altered AFX cars of yore.

Anybody that would try to 'pick' on that car couldn't be taken serious anyway. Car is beautiful. 
I bought my scoop a few years a go from Fiberglass+ in Texas and should have bought a hood then but, they retired. Too bad I don't need one for a Nova as I think 7-11 stocks them right next to the Slurpee machine
