Default Homemade Custom Hood Scoop Insert

Have you guys ever made a custom hood scoop insert? I am missing those on my hood.

I have a hood smimiliar to this: SLN 900

http://www.abcexclusive.com/hoods_main.htm#sln900

Instead of 1 hole on each side, I have 3 an it's a fiberglass hood. It came with the car when I bought it.


Problem is the majority of the companies I have been contacting online do not provide custom hood insert. They only have them specially made for the hoods they make.

I have been reading online that I can make them with Screen Mesh material that I can locally buy at a hardware store.

Do you guys have any input? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
-Frank

the screen mesh from hardware stores can work, plenty of import guys use that stuff all the time. ive seen some people bolt in, glue, or do both to install the screen

i did a home made deal on mine, but i ised a oem torino hood scoop on top of my cowl hood.



my dominator carb sucks cool air right in


the factory scoop has studs that go down thru the hood, but i pulled them out and used screws...


but in the end of it all, it looked like this.


i even had it wired up that the turn signal indicators on the back of it worked with the lights.

but buy some wire screening, glue , then glass it in..are the holes cut out for them already?
