Ron, you really don't want to get a glass hood with the scoop already molded on. The bolt on scoops are a much better choice . I would reccommend SLEDCITY for a lift off hood and the scoop ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) , AAR for a bolt on. Casey

I think you mean.. Larry I'm sure he will mount it if that's what you want. It doesn't take to much time to do it once you know where the factory put them.
This is Larry @ Sled City. My scoops have the studs hanging down for "The E-Z Mount System". Out of almost 500 of these scoops sold, we have only mounted 4 of them and they were on our cars. They are so easy to mount that anyone can do it. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

Do your hoods have the inner bracing and can they be bolted to the hinge?

All of my Sled City hoods are lift offs. I make race car hoods and when you get into the hingable fiberglass hoods, how much weight are you really loosing? 5-7 pounds and spending triple $$$ on the hingable unit? When you use a lift off hood, you don't need the hinges or any of the latching system. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

But GLASSer .. you don't have to have that entire structure underneath to make it a HINGE TYPE hood. I did many that were IN FACT "duzed"(sp) onto the hinge for EZ remooval if needed. A bit of a PITA to build .. but worth it in the end for the customer.
The weight penalty was maybe 3-4 pounds and the cost ... triple the cost of a lift-off hood in the cases you have seen ? ... IIRC ... maybe 80$ or so ...

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones.......
mine is a hinge hood from WS Racing
It's great being able to open the hood and have it stay up!! on it's own.

And it looks very good on such a great looking car like yours. But he likes the lift off hood as thats what he has used for many years and everyone says Larry's (Sled City) hoods work good so he is ordering a hood from Larry. Thanks for calling me and taking time on the phone with me Larry. Ron
