This was probably the hardest to do, especially because the hood color already matches the car so poorly.
But I think overall the scoop "fits the look" with the way I did it.

Hey Scott, I really like the idea of the paper towel holder on the core support in your first picture. The image of the rear door shell cut out reminds me of Jimmy Addison when he did the same to the 62 Dodge he bought from my dad and raced before the Bullet. He also took most of the rear seat upper and lower wire frame and cut that out too.

I was SHOCKED that a 29.5 x 10.5 Bracket Radial Pro fit the stock wheel well. What size rim and BS are you using on the rear?

Can not wait to see this thing hit the track!
I am however upset you removed the interior..... I still miss the looks of the bench seats in the Coronet.
Casey FJ 1,00,000% agree with you. I must be getting old because I decided the risk of crashing with the unattached bench seat, and only 4 old 1962 studs holding that behemoth in was a bad idea. I only did it for safety, because if it was just weight and ET I would rather have been slow and kept the look!

Really digging the whole aesthetic of your '62, matching the scoop's patina to the rest of the car is awesome. I love the wheel and tire choice too!

Progress looks good. The swingout pin location wouldn't pass an NHRA cert with our local inspector. Supposed to be less than 6" center of the pin, to the bar, using the furthest point. Might want to check with your local inspector before getting the cage certified.
