I had built the 65'AFX height scoop in 1999 after many tries to have Kramer produce them in fiberglass. Glad I was persistent in making mine out of Aluminum.
Made the scoop with a few blocks of wood, body hammer, stairwell railing in the Housing projects to make the bends, and a little welding on the corners.
Stock steel hood with this scoop at first weighed 79 lbs. Gutted steel hood with scoop then weighed 52 lbs. No cost except the 3003 Aluminum sheet. $40.00
Aluminum hood with Aluminum AFX scoop weighs in at 25 lbs. Cost $90.00 5'X10'3003 Aluminum sheet and my friends patience.
Heavier than a glass hood but keeping to the name Fullmetaljacket.
