Rushman04 Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 can't do that with sd hood scoops. The reason i got a handle on sd hood is because my sister had it on her 01 grand am and she rear ended another person and the autobody shop got a new hood but her hood where scoops are it is fine so i want to use the scoops on my car.

Darkness Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 The only time I ever put a hood scoop on was with my old 77 Firebird. All I did was cut the hole, sand to metal around the area where the scoop was going, laydown some fiberglass cloth (soaked in resin, of course) dropped the hood scoop on, drilled some holes and bolted the sucker down, then added a second layer of fiberglass cloth to sandwich the scoop edges in. I allowed that to dry really, really well, then added the body putty. Sanded everything smooth and added paint. It worked really well at first, but after about a year the scoop was starting to come up from all the vibration the hood was suffering.
