I am looking for a hood scoop for my 65, paint on this car is almost perfect so i am looking for somthing i can color match.
I have a mold for a 65 hood, so i have options to go glass rather than mess up my good hood.
 
My scoop!

65dc, I have that exact scoop on my original race car steel hood!
 
I can't decide what scoop to run with the 6 pack?

I'm hoping to find one that is low, or lower than a standard 6pak for primarily street driving.
 
I sat in mine just to see how tall it was and I could see over it, and I figure once it's mounted it will be lower, so if I run someone over they should have been looking out for themselves. I always look out for myself because no one else will.
 
BIT, i am more interested in a cold air inlet than the little gained from an above the boundary layer scoop that gets a small boost in power at speed. Looks are more important to me, since. I want to run a 12.0 bracket class, and dynoed at 504 crank hp. It isn't going to be easy to kill et and still get good mph, but i would like to run 12.00 at 116+ mph.

I see what you mean..I was thinking full blown fast Race Car. Been away from actually racing for a long time..Could you throttle stop it to get what you want.?
 
Sportsman class so i would have to permanently limit throttle opening. My converter will be somewhat tight (3500?) So maybe serious short shifting will do it.
 
I've owned this car since 1969. It remains a small block car, 904 and Dana 60. Runs pretty well, 9.50's on a regular basis. [all steel except glass hood/scoop]
