How involved would it be for someone who knows how to work fiberglass to modify the scoop on my replica T/A hood shown here... 8410743-Mopig_LF.jpg (221 downloads)

I tried to get somebody to fix the glass hood on the black charger and like everything else am going to end up doing it myself.

The Scoop is like $275 and its a pretty good project to get the big thing on a steel hood, since the vents in the rear on the steel hood are long I had to cut to fit. I think no matter how you do it, weather a steel hood or cut your current scoop off and build it up its a project non the less. I dont know if you cut your scoop off if you could reuse it after you built but maybe a good glass guy could. Sharp car, good luck!

What I had in mind originally was like 340Rick's (shown below), but decided that's too freakin' crazy for my way more stock looking (and slower) car. 8410971-RICKRONDE.jpg (194 downloads)

I am in the same boat, would love to have the Landy ta scoop. to run the dominator carb I had to pull my ta hood off, for dragweek last year and put a cowl hood on, I hated it. I put a 4150 back on the car just so I could get the ta hood back on, but still looking for options. that other monster ta scoop just looks to disproportioned with the air inlets to tall. with the dominator being taller, just not enough air cleaner options, that 5/16th of an inch made all the difference of not being able to run the ta hood. If I could find the Landy ta scoop I would buy a flat glass hood to put it on. If you find someone to take yours apart and make it taller let me know, I would be interested.

I used evercoat fibertech fiberglass putty on my glass to steel ta hood and had no problems with it. It's not cheap, but beats redoing it down the road. 68 Road Runner, 69 Belvedere, 71 Challenger Vert 340 barracuda, 01 Ram CTD, 95 Ram, 04 Ram, 85 Daytona turbo Z 66 GTO, 06 Magnum RT AWD. 07 Ram CTD, 07 Ram

I'd like to stop by there with the same pics that I posted above and see what they say.

I show the guy the same pics as above and he says (basically) "No problem." and then gives me a quick tour of the shop and shows me a couple of the cars he's working on currently.

I know the shop's hourly rate for fiberglass work, but didn't get an estimate for how much time to do the job. My gut feeling is... not cheap.
