Bringing this back up because I will be doing this very soon....in the next few weeks. What about mounting the scoop? I know most people bond them (glass them) to the hood, but what about pro stock style with the scoop mounted to the engine/carb and just sliding the hood in around the scoop? I ask because the scoop will extend to the windshield over the cowl and the motor is in the stock location. Plus I could do most of the maintenance I need to do without removing the scoop. Any opinions on this? What are the pros/cons of mounting either way?

My thought is that I would position and trim the scoop and then make a new flange that the hood would rest and dzus to. This way I can get the desired "look" of the scoop and still have something that isnt going anywhere.
