Yes. The scoops on the 65 cars above do look correct. It does appear that the AFX scoops had a raised front opening as compared to the original 64/65 Hemi scoops, (and the scoops on the lightweight front end ad with the girl) and that may be what made them somewhat unique in appearance, but they were nothing like the raised garden boxes you see on the NSS cars these days.

At a glance, but side by side they are quite unique, the 67 is noticeably shorter front to back, close to square across the back, and taller all around. The stamped shape in the top is the most noticeable similarity.

Here's an original 67 Hemi scoop just sitting on a 68 Valiant hood (not bolted down, just a coincidence that it was painted red).

Ralph.

The 65' Altered wheelbase package cars did come through with fiberglass hoods and scoop, (taller front opening version of the 64-65' Race Hemi scoop) Fiberglass fenders, fiberglass hardtop doors with upper aluminum window channel rails (hacked from existing leftover A865 super stock cars to make a post door look alike) which would retain the one piece side door plexi-glass without vent windows. Fiberglass instrument panel with out a glove box cut out, fiberglass deck lid. plexi glass windshield and such.

The pictures that I have seen have been separate scoop from the hoods. Maybe some teams found it more aero to seal them all together, but I could be wrong.

I've seen in person some AFX type scoops by some companies that frequent on here, but I question their quality and strength in a fast moving AFX car. Do some homework.

Just went and checked my 64 fiberglas scoop. I was able to pull up in the center and it looked like the pic of the original 65 afx. Might need a support to hold it up there. I was told the original ones where bolted on. I might have to raise mine because of the intake but not a fan of the big box look.

A company called Smiths Race cars in Texas made some of the early AFX hoods and fenders.The hood and scoops were one piece.If some one could get in touch with Todd Werner who now has the 65 Yankee Peddler the mfg tag was glassed into the inside of the fenders.

Good looking '65 AWB. Can't wait to see it finished. Makes me wish i still had the '65 Coronet 500 hardtop I bought for an AWB project years ago...alas, it was too clean to cut up.

Ralph. There are a couple of AFX scoops out there in glass. You'll have to mold mend it to your glass hood to be period correct. Like said here Glasstech makes some good stuff and odd at that.
If not, just make your own.

Ralph. Are you debuting this creation at the match races this coming season?
Wouldn't it be great if the Factories got in on the show and semi-sponsored them again.
The more these AFXer's of all makes (Chrysler GM and FORD) make the cut at the races, the more blood rushes to the fans heads and brings back the fundamentals of a great American tradition.

TXS I've been to Glasstech sight and they seem to have some nice stuff. But everything I have found will need to be molded together. My goal is to get as close to the original as possible.

Yes he is.

Lots of trimming and measuring. Is this an all steel car?
I've seen a few steel altered cars at the drags lately.
Glasstech seems to have solid stuff from what I've seen at Carlisle.

Yes it will be all steel except the hood.

I gather this is going 2 see some street duty being steel and not glass?

NICE!!!!!!!!Time for a stacker,,,,,
