This looks nice. :cheers:
 
I like a flat hood (no scoop) but would prefer the scoop over the air cleaner sticking out the hood.

Your 66 Valiant looks assume!
 
i like your car better without the scoop, can´t be much better than that! Fell in love with the 66 Valiant 2dr sedan a few years ago but was not able to find a decent one here in europe - so i bought a nice 68. For me your car has got the perfect look (ok, a hemi with hillborne intake would be nice...:poke:)

Go with the snorkle. As per the DC race manual Mopar states its the most efficient Scoop of Its time. Same as the the T/A Challenger hood. and SixPack Bee hood but its a bolt on and its not a parachute trying to pull the hood off. Its application can be made to look clean as if it belongs there. On your car? I think Body color would look cool even if your leaving the fenders flat black which I think looks pretty good on your car.

Still thinking Keith , I do think it's time to weather proof your engine bay, I remember seeing a picture of it in a ice storm and you hade the complete engine covered with
plastic and I could see your breather threw the plastic ...... I always like those scoops but not on your wagon :D leave it allone :cheers:
 
Rain storm Mike, took the pic from my Hotel window while at the Mopar show here in MN. I always have a heavy sheet of plastic to keep rain out if it is parked and it is outside, I also do this when I wash it, keeps the engine dry :glasses7:

Hey there buddy. I like the looks of the scoop. But I'm just a little prejudice.
I think a 6 pack scoop would look on your car. Just make a couple of plugs
for the holes. I made mine out of closed cell foam and covered them with black duct tape.
 
I voted No, but that was before I realized there was already a hole in your hood XD I vote yes on some kind of scoop to go over it. My vote in the poll just doesn't reflect it.

That's the one I was talking about :cheers:
I have not voted yet, looks darn good on there but it has been dun before :D
 
I think it needs a scoop......just not that one. Hard to put into words........but the scoop is not the right era for your car, best I could describe it.
 
Needs one. I just don't think that one follows along with the body lines. Your car your call. Perhaps a non mopar old school teardrop scoop.
 
First off, I gotta say I love your car brother!
Totally BadAss!
More than one hood would be nice.
How about the Ford Teardrop?
Definitely period correct, and I seem to remember seeing them on all kinds of cars as a wee lad at the track back in the 60s (facing forward or back)...
Just a thought (and to those that want to rip, just another opinion).
The dual snorkle just isn't right, I like it the way it is much better...
 
mopars are ment for scoops not just that they lok awsome but cool them down nicley

I know it's not the same exact body style, but pretty close. Here's a pic of the scoop on the '68 Valiant Inland Mopars built as our 2008 charity project car.
I like this scoop on A-bodies and I'm planning on putting one on my '69 Dart.
