Anyone still make those cool old clear plexiglass hood scoops? Some guy on ebay was but now I cant find him. Anyone? Thanks, -Dean
I dunno if anyone still makes them, but if you had a buck, you could have them vacuum formed. Myself, along with a few other HAMBers, have access to vacuum formers that should be big enough.
I have that guys contact info from e-bay somewhere..I'll try to find it for you. I know he was going to pop them in different colors..
cool man ya let me know. how popular were these back in the '60s? I personally think there pretty badass. Thanks, Dean

I made a nice looking clear plexiglass hood scoop from the bulb cover on an old flourescent tube street light.it was a 4 foot long light that had a v shaped reflector with 4 light tubes on either side of the V.There was a clear molded cover over the bulbs enclosing the entire light.my cover came from a place that had a contract to repair the lights.my cover was broken on one end from a rock being thrown at it the finished scoop was 16 inches wide 6 or 8 inches tall at the front tapering to about 1/2 this height at the rear with a rounded back
There is one for salein the parts section.He must make them if you need a differant couler{sp} I know.
I was gonna say back in the late 50's early 60's there was a 55 chevy gasser that had a clear scoop that looked cool as hell....but someone beat me to it with pics of one!! LOL...those are cool
I can makem guys- it will be expensive and not too quick. Unless a couple people (or one person) wants a couple of the same style. JST blkshrt@hotmail.com

(do not want the triangle flat type, want one just like on gasser55 blue car. thanks again 913-426-5379
Not to high-jack the thread guys-but I am making a buck for mark and another fellow- If you are interested in a scoop made to "the blue 55' " as everyone is refering to-send me a message
When I was a kid I remember a Hemi GTX with a plexiglass Hood w/ scoop. that was badass I think it had a straight axle as well But, not 100% positive it was the same car. mid 70's
Here's some shots of the latest buck- still needs to be jacket pulled and surface worked- I should be pulling these by the end of the month if not sooner. 22lx12wx4h.....JST
