A local `70 Super Bee has an original air grabber box hacked out to make room for a modern a/c compressor, I cringe when I see that type of stuff.   :o

IRON MAN

Hood scoops done right look good. I like the two Mopars above because the fit the cars and are proportionally correct. Back in the late 60s and early seventies transplanting hood scoops was popular. I had a Thunderbolt tear drop on my 55 Chevy 2-door, a 57 T-Bird hood scoop on my 55 Chevy shortened wagon, and a 71 Pontiac T/A hood scoop for my 56 Chevy 2-door. It would be a sin to do this today. LOL. Here are two pics of the hood scoops I altered to fit. The T-Bird scoop needed some modifying at the rear. Actually made a mold of it to pull fiberglass scoops from.

As cool as shakers are, they are a pain when making carb adjustments where the
air grabber is up out of way and fun to activate! Just no quiver!
