The car is being fixed.
Here are some pictures of progress and a few of the plans for the car.
It will be a mash up 71 cuda. 
Nothing wrong with that, it will help the car last another 50 or more years.

A few more.

I assume it was missing its original scoops. Those would be the perfect item to have 3D scanned, modeled and printed. Avoids high tooling costs and makes another unobtainium part available again.

I am willing to use my best two scoops to produce a set or multiple sets of these scoops.  I've had several folks ask about it and say they can do it or have a friend who can do it. 
  I will drive to wherever someones 3D scan machine is with the scoops for the scanning of the product.  I will pay for the first few sets.  But I need a commitment from someone who can actually do this.  A lot of the hobbiest machines out there can not handle the size of the scoop so it will take a larger commercial machine to perform such a thing.

The scoops were never with the car as far as the history I have of the car. 
On the ebay listing, they were not there.  Probably taken off for the repaint of the car.  Seems pretty typical that these scoops get taken off by "restorers".

There are several companies offering metal 3D printing services, a couple in Denver. You could do it in a few different materials, but I think it would be best to just have it in metal so they last longer as well.

I made a thread so as to not hijack this one too much.   Hopefully @callaway will get to buy a set if I was to reproduce a few.  Expensively of course. I'm sure it can't be cheap.  But what I have paid for original scoops might prove a reproduction to be worthy for the 1 person a year that wants a set. hahaha.
