So here it is, the 6 screws holding the scoop. Any chance that the opening in the hood be made for a shaker!

ok that pic helps a lot. you actually don't ahve an opening in the hood, that is just the factory bracing, and it is made that way to accomodate the use of a shaker scoop. if you use the template you can cut the opening out correctly for a shaker scoop, but you will still have to have the bolt holes for the factory scoop welded up and worse yet there are holes in the back of the hood cutout for the turn signals mounted in the scoop. your best bet would be to find a stock flat hood and use that instead, you might even be able to find someone who will trade you for the hood you have now. if i had a good flat hood i would trade you, unfortunately i don't

I just realized that you posted this onto a new thread, but yeah, what B said. I honestly forget what the exact condition of the hood on my parts car is in, but if it is good and you either come up empty handed or decide you would rather just pay shipping instead of buying a new hood + shipping then let me know, I'll work out a trade with you. I doubt the original pics I have on my webpage of the parts car are very good since I was not interested in the hood when taking them but the car will be home from my friends house in a week or two and I can get all the pics or info you want if you decide that is what you want to do.

Yikes, don't know how that happened, cardomain should be a pretty safe site, there are a ton of users on there.
Finding a shaker hood pre-cut is not going to be easy at all. A stock flat uncut hood is your best and possibly only bet. The one on my parts car is completely stock. I will get pics ASAP for you. As memmory serves it was dent and hole free and solid save for some minor surface rust on the nose where the paint wore thin. It is no where in the ready to paint shape yours is obviously but if you are still interested after you see more detailed closer pics then I'll be sure it's a fair trade don't worry, we'll figure something out as it's obviously not an equal swap.

It might be another couple of weeks I'm afraid, sorry. My friend who's yard the parts car is currently sitting in is out of town and I spent the whole weekend prepping my car for the body shop. Next weekend is my parents 50th wedding anniversary so that's out (unless my current plan goes a wry) and it will probably be the following weekend of the 30th before I get my chance to tow it home and/or just take more pics. I don't know where you are at on your car and if this is going to hold you up or not soooooooo......

Hi Richard, sorry for pm you earlier, didn't get the chance to read this reply.....don't worry about it, we haven't really done anything on the car since 2 weeks, we'll really get back to it in a month or so....
Ain't that funny, i'm going to my oncle and aunt's 50th wedding anniversary too in 2 weeks...wonder how they did it.....
