Need to put hands on an OEM Dodge Dart Sport dual snorkel hood scoop

[Builderguy]

Need a little help from this group! I need to actually place my hands on an OEM dual snorkel hood scoop, on the car would be best.
I am about to refinish the aftermarket one I have and would like to see just how "perfect" I need to make it and what the finish looked like.
I am in Jackson, MI so a car somewhere in MI would be great, but heck I can still be in MI and drive 10 hours to the other side of MI so if
you are a few hours away that would be fine, road trip.

My project is a 1974 Dodge Dart Sport 360 (at least that is what it will be).

So, if you don't mind a car guy putting his hands on your sweet ride, please DM me and we can set up a time.

As always, any help is much appreciated!

I will also get one of correct paint. Black Organisol has Black and medium metallic as well as texture.
The stripes are matte and scoop is organisol
Originaly factory used vinyl for header panel and hood. And painted the cowl.
I used matte vinyl on allm3 header, hood and the cowl. Heat cut and bend into slits takes awhile so they just shot paint on cowl.
Looks better with vinyl matching the hood but takes time.

It is not rough. But is smooth but has a rough look. Keep in mind Ma Mopar shot Organisol and put decals on it. It is a big mistake guys make. Thinking its rough

Thanks for the information. I am trying to lay my hands on an OEM scoop to see just how much fit/finish was done from the factory. I can put a lot of hours into a very small hood scoop and make it PERFECT, or I can make it just like the factory/production line. I think their good enough quality is little on the lower end of Perfect. But I need to have one in front of me to make the determination of just how many hours I want to put into this scoop. My scoop is just fine, but it is not super flat on the top (both sides) but they do match. LOL I can just prime and spray and it would probably be just fine, but I want to know for sure.

I'm in the same boat. This is an aftermarket scoop that I recently purchased. It is a little rough in some areas and I'll be smoothing and evening everything out with bondo. Luckily I work in a body shop and can do it a little bit at a time. I'll probably have tons of time in it making it straight and presentable. Good luck!

I have one in 49425 zip code. It’s original but a little rough. I’m probably a couple hours from you
