Hey Guys, my uncle is the original owner of his 73 Duster 340 four speed car. He is in the process of a ground up restoration. He is adding some goodies to dress the car up a bit. One is a hood scoop. He bought an O.E.M. one off of a guy that said it would fit his car. The problem is there is a big gap in the front wear it meets the hood.The pics I added are of a spare 73 hood he had, just to mock it up to see what it would look like. I put a white peice of paper behind the gap so you could see how big it is. Our question is was there a different base made for different hoods? Have any of you seen this before? Thanks Scott!

Thanks for the reply, My uncle bought a junk 72 Demon hood that had a scoop at one time for the hole patterns. By the way the paint was faded it looked like it too had a gap in front. So we thought someone might have added the scoop somewhere along the way. We just want to know for sure if they made different bases. If they did he wants to find the correct one. And no you could not get the snorkle scoop on the 73 Duster but he really likes the look!
Thanks Again Scott!
