My car is ugly again.

I installed the cowl scoop today. I now have a 2.5" blue cowl on my hood. Pics later, camera batteries went dead right as i took the picture

Underside shot. the big dark area is the underside of the scoop.

The scoop is fiberglass, right? What is that black area around the edges of the original hood where you cut it out?

[Blaze86Vic]

Yeah, got your big air cleaner back! Looks good man, take it down to maco and let them lay it on!

[DuceAnAHalf]

The scoop is fiberglass. the black stuff you see is 3M Panel Bonding Adhesive. Right now there is about 10 rivets holding the hood on since the adhesive takes 24 hours to cure and i had to drive it home. The rivets will be drilled out and the scoop will be blended into the hood.

Blaze - Screw Maaco. Ive got everything i need to paint it myself, well except for the motivation.

Looks like an old Firebird style reverse cowl deal. Hm, I wonder if one of the old Trans Am ones that attached to the air cleaner lid and went through a hole in the hood would look OK on one of these cars.

hehe..the truth hurts don't it...LOL.. J/K

Looks good though...and functional, which is even better. I can't stand those JC whitney/APC stick on scoops you see everywhere...

Too bad it's so difficult and expensive to do it like that kid with the 351 EFI towncar had it...that looked great.

So far it appears to have droppe dthe tranny temps more than 10 degrees. a few weeks on the drive from work to home (about 3 miles) the tranny temp got up to about 210 degrees. Sunday the tranny was warm, the weather was hotter, and the tranny only got up to around 200. Also the engine coolant is taking longer to get up to 185 and i can run with the fan off for longer.
