WELL started making one for the race truck, I made a cardboard one the other day and today I used the cardboard for patterns and welded it together out of a dodge dakota bed side(recycling metal) it even had the start of the curve that I needed for it I still have to make a lip around the opening but at least its started.

I am trying to make the opening the same shape as the grill opening and I want the top to side curve look similer to the top of the hood to the side of the hood we'll see when its done if I can get what I am looking for Ron....

Quote: Is the top of the scoop going to be flat with the world when the truck is at ride height? Can't tell exactly how it sits in the pics. I believe it is pretty level because of the rack of the truck but the rear tires are 31" tall and the ones I plan to run are going to be 29" tall. Ron.
