The glue I used is IPS Weld-on #16

IPS Corp.
Box 379
Gardena,Ca 90248

It worked the best. If your going to race 1/4 mile I would put brackets in the corners and screw them together. Kim

Thank's Kim!

Were the originals 3-piece? It looks like the one on the #1 ZL-1 was one-piece vacuum formed. And after seeing some pics of your car, I could have sworn you went with a one-piece design too in the last few years.

And yes, this will be going on a race car (not show car), so it will need to hold up to constant abuse (9.5's to 9.70's at 135 - 140 mph).

Thanks again for your help!

This scoop ?

Re: Hood Scoop
 

Yes. I think that is on the 2nd Gen Camaro that initiated this thread.

The one on the #1 ZL1 is clear.

But yes that is the style I want to build.

Re: Hood Scoop
 

The first scoop I put the center part in between the sides . The 2nd scoop I put the center part on top of the sides. It held up a little better. It still broke ,but the glue held and the glass broke. The pressure broke it. I think what caused it to break is my scoop is open in the front by 2" ,air got in there and cracked it. I think if the front is sealed it wont hurt it. Who knows?? My scoop is 3 parts, the center is clear and the sides are smoked red.

Is it red or maroon................ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: Hood Scoop
 

Kim, I'd like to make a similar scoop for Benjamin's car, what did the final version look like?

What would you do differently, would / could you make the top and sides out of one piece and only have to glue the portion where the top angles down the front?

I'm thinking of a one piece unit in green....

Re: Hood Scoop
 

Marlin, I made three scoops, not one of them held up.

What I did different, I had one made. In the long run they were cheap compared the time and money I had in the three I made. Let me find their phone # .
John Diekema found this place I think in Davenport , Ia.
John drove the ZL-1 at a couple of the reunions. Let me get their # from John and get back to you .

Re: Hood Scoop
 

I think it broke when we were all out at Cordova with the car. What place you looking for?

Re: Hood Scoop

The company name is Midland Plastic Davenport Ia.

Phone # 563-468-4144

Re: Hood Scoop
 

Ken,
Lets see................ the chrome blew off one pass.
The scoop broke three different times that weekend.

The second pass she ran a 9:80

I remember telling you if I died that night,
I would die a very happy man.
Watching my car dip in the 9's the first time out
made me a happy man

Awesome, thanks! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Hood Scoop
 

It was a good time. I have some of those pics on my shop wall.

Re: Hood Scoop
 

I saw that Gibb car in the older photos... any chance there are some closer shots of that? ... Just curious

Re: Hood Scoop
 

I just seen your post. I don't have any close shots of the scoop , in fact Helen Gibb and
Nancy told me about the center part being clear.

Kim

Re: Hood Scoop
 

No sweat ... I had to wipe the drool off my screen to get a look at the car anyway ... I've got a few gems in the shop as well that I am fortunate enough to be the sitter for
