Classicgas Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Need a hood scoop close to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerBob Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Look similar to the hoodscoop on a 57 Tbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) You could cut that from a plastic spoon! The custom scoop in the AMT '63 Impala is a nice low-rise design. It has raised ribs along the top edges you could easily file flat, and because it tapers back to nearly flat, you could shape it any way you need. Maybe someone has something that will work "right out of the box", but I can't think of anything. Do you have a better picture of the scoop?

Classicgas Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Actually I've changed my mind. Mods please delete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 1017 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 That is one Kool Duster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Yeah. My build will be close but not identical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSheep214 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I’d be curious how you create/build a high performance slant 6 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 A couple of long-gone kits did include Slant Six speed equipment. The Revell '62 Mopar compacts (Valiant and Lancer), and the AMT XR-6. The intake on the Duster wouldn't be too tough to cut from a thick sheet of styrene, rather than look for parts that may or may not fit the engine being used.

Classicgas Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 I think some simple modifications of the kit intake will be close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 That is a cool 1:1 Duster, but it looks like those header pipes (if that are what is hanging down in front of the tires) would catch the devil crossing speed bumps. Anyway, looking forward to your build of this different machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Lee, if I had a Thunderbird hood I would give it to you. Does the 49 Ford have a small scoop? I can’t remember. Lee, never give up on your inspiration… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Maybe one of the fender scoops from a Superbird or Charger Daytona? Keep your Mopar all Mopar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it's no longer needed, for future reference there is a nearly identical scoop in AMT's '69 Falcon Modified Stocker kit, where it is used for driver cooling and is mounted on the roof! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
