Hi Guys

I got a '66 'stang convert. I was thinking (watch it schooner when you do that...lol)
Seriously, I believe those '69 hood scoops are plastic RIGHT/WRONG ?

Assuming their're plastic or fiberglass.

QUESIONT(S) PLEASE: How in the world would you attach the scoop to your hood after cutting the hole for it.
i.e. GLUE? CEMENT? WHAT ? ? ?

Any suggestions/pictures will be greatly appreciated.

THANKS GUYS
GOD BLESS

the PO of my car attached the shelby gt 350 style scoop to my stock hood. The scoop was fiberglass and he used fiberglass i believe to attach it to my metal hood. Well the end results arent too pretty. Around the scoop it's starting to yellow and crack. [:@]

With the time, money, and effort that it takes to get a hood with a scoop in that method, you are better of paying the extra money (~$300) to buy a moulded fiberglass gt350 hood with the scoop already on it.

Usually the scoops are fiberglass and you attach them with either sheetmetal screws and then use fiberglass patches and resin to hide those screws, OR you just use fiberglass patches all over and try to get the best possible transition between the steel hood and the glass scoop. The key word here is "trying" to get the best possible transition---its a PITA and down the road you may end up with problems like 19stang66 is talking about.

Trust me, spend the extra money on a fiberglass gt350 hood...it will save you time in the long run.

well i would look for a good quality scoop with mount studs attached to it and mount it to the hood like that. if that is not a option there is alot of high strenght adheasives that we use in the body shop that will hold it on without a worry! when you get the scoop and see what material it is go to the local automotive paint and supply shop or eastwood.com and find the adheasive and do that, or if you dont feel comfortable go to a good body shop and have them attach it, that way the headache is not yours if you dont feel good about doing it, because that would be alot cheaper then buying another hood and scoop

Buy a 'glass hood with a scoop and save your original hood from carnage.

The factory '69 scoop is fiberglass and bolts on. The hood does not have to get cut out for it to fit. You do need to drill a small hole for the wires if you plan to use the scoop mounted turn signals.

^^that came out of left field ^^ i dont think i have ever seen a late model hood scoop on a classic.

Brandontyler65

is it a functional scoop and would it really fit and look ok on a early model like a 67-70 mustang cause i would do that but it would have to fit right and second you just wouldn't happen to have any pics with a test fit would you

Don't do it. a scoop on a vert just doesn't look right. If you do, take the others advice and save your orig. hood for later, don't chop that hood.
