tjones87 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I have been looking all over and cant find the right cowl hood for a 70-73 Camaro. I have found the right scoop in resin and was just wondering how I would go about attaching it to the stock kit hood? If its possible? Any and all help is appreciated. thanks this is the type of hood I am wanting, but no one seems to make them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKcustoms Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Super glue or 2 part epoxy will work, just make sure to scuff the bonding area if you use epoxy so it sticks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I use 5-minute epoxy for a lot of things such as the clear glass, photoetched parts, metal guitar string for antennas and "pinning" small parts such as sideview mirrors, and I would use it also to glue a resin scoop on a styrene hood. It seems to work for me over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjones87 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 ok thanks for the help..I have located a styrene scoop similar to this, that I might can make work...if so i will just go that way....but never know, may end up having to pick the resin scoop up..... Also, not sure where to ask this, but if I got the hood to look right, would there be a caster out there that would be interested in making these? I know this is a popular hood to use for a street car, not everyone likes the outlaw hoods lol....thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Tim, you should be able to just use the scoop from any of the Revell '69 Camaros. That's what I always use when I want a scoop like that. I agree with you about the outlaw hood scoops. I don't like any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was thinking about that as well...but trying to find someone willing to let a hood go without the rest of the kit lol....I found 2 styrene scoops i am going to get and see what I can come up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markemmonsracing Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 There was a place on eBay and several other sights that had a cowl hood for the kit ur using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 If you end up doing the resin scoop, I'd be wary of using 5-minute epoxy under finish bodywork. It has almost no strength and I really wouldn't trust it under filler, primer and show-paint. It's asking for disappointment. It's great for the other things High octane mentions.

Just looking for a factory type cowl hood... 2 3/4" is what the one pictured is. If you end up doing the resin scoop, I'd be wary of using 5-minute epoxy under finish bodywork.

Yeah I have heard that also...although I am not too worried about the finish being show quality...but I have found some styrene scoops I will try and use first. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
