hey Roger, funny, but i do it just the opposite. i will lay down tape to see how wide to make the scoop. cut out the hood, then cut styrene to fit inside the cut hood so i can lay the glue on thick to insure a good bond to the hood. notch the sides to extend to the front. lay some styrene on top and cut to fit. sand it for nice and round edges and you are done. in my opinion, make sure the scoop runs parallel to the hood, see too many that are in an incline, i think they look goofy. i'd add a picture, but it says it's too big, as usual.

well, Jason, usually roll cages are mild steel in a car like this. fancier ones (tube chassis cars) may be chrome moly tubing. all the pictures I see are of a darker tubing. your aluminum look may not be correct, but I would check with the hard core racers. I know my car's cage is mild steel painted black. if I were you, i'd leave it. it looks cool!! it will really stand out with a dark interior also. I have some aluminum laying around, may have to give it a try. and yes, i am fine. I am not a builder of mopar only, I do partake in the lesser brands of automobiles also. just never could figure out why mopars were the only ones to get it right. keep going, its looking great!! yea, that's kind of weird about the LS/6 cars. could they be one in the same? it was a wicked car, but he would never race anyone.

going to be a sweet build Jason. have a few of these on the back burner, I will be watching to see what you do with it. back in the day, a friend of mine had a gold 1970 LS/6 chevelle, black vinyl top, stripes and interior. very serious car. question, why not styrene for the cage? is brass that much easier. I like te idea of adding the weight to the build. I never done anything in brass besides door and trunk hinges.

edit; after I looked closer, its a standard cowl induction hood, but they still have the outlaw humps down the page. check here, Comp resins, not a very high hood, but it may work... http://www.compresins.com/site/751597/page/237911 item #22, a little farther down there are outlaw "humps", if you will. very reputable and nice parts. hope this helps.

I have no clue on this one...my head hurts reading them lyrics, i'll say that. on a side note, Dave, I hear you guys are getting some snow up there. it will be coming our way near the end of the week.

Until the sun went downAnd many fantasies were learned On that day got the song, can't think of the group.... 2 chicks and a guy, all wearing makeup!! this is going to bug me....

thank you all Al Matheny grateful civilian

correct

very nice build. your right, great stance.... I threw soooo many nascar tires and rims out.... now I want some back. great combination.

I posted this months ago and it never go guessed. one of my favorite bands/singers. you have to have a tase for his off-the-wall misic. note, when he passed, the lead guitarist joined Nazareth. She was a woman who was twice my size She looked into my eyes She said "Only you can blow my blues away" She said "I'll tell you what to do Bring all your friends with you And you can come up and see me any ol' time of day"

scan back a few posts, it's been answered.... really good tune. here is another one by the tubes, probably their best (I think) She won’t even miss me when she’s gone And that’s okay with me I’ll cry later on

did not know that! interesting. I cant recall any TV personalities that went on to have musical careers.... until you guys mention some and I say, "oh yea"

correct and correct.... Olivia was hot!!

correct, done by Harry Nilsson

Maybe I hang around here A little more than I should We both know I got somewhere else to go But I got something to tell you That I never thought I would But I believe you really ought to know

People let me tell you ‘bout my best friend, He’s a warm hearted person who’ll love me till the end. People let me tell you bout my best friend, He’s a one boy cuddly toy, my up, my down, my pride and joy.

I seen you around for a long long time, ya I really remembered you when you drink my wine

so right Carl. money is power, just depends on how you use that power.

didn't hear about either one of these Derrick. man, I am out if the loop. too bad about Malcolm. and Plil, really? dirty, dirty deeds.... too bad. one of my top bands also. I turned them onto my friends long ago when they opened up for meatloaf!

well, you nailed it!! nice job.

nice start so far Chris, love the stance, I am a big tire guy, but may reconsider after seeing this. great job on the chassis.

great start ice. 3 at one time. nice!

could we be possibly looking at the first funny car.

sorry, never heard on either of those, or I would have gotten them.... kidding.
