It's a fiberglass scoop that uses J clips and 10-24 bolts with captive washers. On the original cars they cut away most of the inner bracing so there wasn't much of an issue with having holes to run the bolts through.
I'm not going to be cutting holes in the hood for the scoop to be functional.
Why not?
I'm going to drive the almighty hell out of this car. Before I sold my '65 Satellite, I put 8000 miles on it in 18 months and I plan on doing the same with this car. Actually putting a scoop on it makes no sense anyway since it will just "slow" me down a bit and increase my gas mileage. Don't forget the chance of some random damage.
I don't want the extra water and bugs and everything else that will be ingested into the engine compartment if I were to cut holes into the hood.
Make sense?
