When no one was considering the AFX scoop, I went ahead and made my own out of aluminum. I believe that there is a fiberglass one made currently. I just don't remember the company and or the distributor.

I thought all Altered wheel base cars used fiberglass hoods along with doors fenders, dash and decklids. So both of these cars came thru with steel hoods? what about the add that shows fiberglass parts? 8370776-SAM_1651.JPG (531 downloads) A Collection Of All Things Chrysler www.RalphsRapidTransit.com Stock Appearing MuscleCar Racing www.SuperCarRaces.com

The original glass hoods and scoops were replicas (size/dimension, etc.) of the original 64/65 metal scoops (like shown in that parts package photo). The altered opening and taller opening scoops you see on a lot of clones and restorations these days are often later aftermarket versions modified for extra height, etc. MANY of the fiberglass companies selling these scoops (as well as 67 Hemi scoops) sell modified versions as compared to the original factory scoops.

The basic shape of the scoop is very close. The difference is that the 64/65 scoop has a curved rear edge that follows the rear of the hood/cowl gap (radiused). The 67 is straight across the back. My 64 has a 67 scoop, no ones ever noticed. Doug

I think that is like the old scoops that were taller in the front than the regular Hemi scoops. Scott might be confusing those with the BIG BOX scoops people are using in NSS racing now. Ugly [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] things they are. They look like something made on a sheet metal (box) brake.
