I got an exact replica of a fiberglass mold-in hood scoop from a '65/'66 Shelby and am going to eventually rivet and mold it into my stock hood. Will take some work but will be well worth it and will be one of a kind. I just don't like the bolt-on look. It looks cheap. I'd buy an aftermarket hood w/ scoop before I bought a bolt-on scoop. But if that's what you want to do, there are plenty of them out there right now. If you like the single scoop look like the '65 and '66 Shelby's... I'd go with the Roush hood scoop and you should be able to get that off their site for around $150. If you like the double scoop like the '67 and '68 Shelby's... Classic Design Concepts has the best looking one IMO. But it'll cost ya more like $250. I got my scoop on eBay for $43 and will spend another few bucks attaching it. Then, I can get the whole hood painted for about $150. About the same price. Just an option for others who want a scoop.

will it fit/look right on the 05? I knew theywere designed with the '67 in mind, but are the dimensions that close?

Good question. The 65-66 Shelby scoop in particular is quite narrow and may not look right on the expansive 05 hood. It may be worth the +/-$43 to someone to buy the bond-on scoop and lay it on their 05 so that they can see for themselves.

Heck yeah it is! I don't know that much about molding/bodywork like that, but I'd love to see how it turns out - with all the aftermarket hoods and scoops out there, it'd be nice to see an authentic one! post pics when you're done!
