Does anyone make a repro of the '69 'Cuda hood with the scoops that sit towards the rear of the hood? Or...does anyone make repros of the scoops themselves?

Second question: Do these scoops line up with bracing on the hood or is there opportunity to cut holes and make these scoops functional? I realize that they're small and might not be in an ideal location from an aerodynamics perspective...but they're pretty damn cool looking.

AAR doesn't seem to offer one...

The scoops are repopped. PG Classics has them and possibly BE&A. On a stock hood, the access holes are already there in the stamping.

Excellent...I'll check them out. I've only come across a couple of actual 1969 'Cudas and I never thought to look if the scoops were functional. I just assumed that like the Twister scoops and many others, they were decoration only. Very cool...
 
They are decoration only. My scoops had already been drilled by a previous owner, so I opened them up and made them functional. I also had to move them forward on the hood about 6 inches to clear the bracing, but nobody notices.
