Default Re: Old School hood scoops WIW

i had a 65 L79 chevelle with a grump lump....thought it was the coolest thing on the planet...that scoop made me the coolest kid in my group of flunkeys..it had a scoop..it had to be fast...

i was 14 and had to make payments on a $50 dollar car..lol...12 bolt..high redline tach...4 speed...burgandy with black interior..wrong motor..but heads, intake and carb where with the car...and i sold that stuff for $75 when i got it home....it was the first car i bought on my own...and $50 was a lot of money..youd shovel a driveway for 1 or 2 bux....mow grass for $2-5 and had to supply gas etc..i collected soda bottles at 2 cents deposit etc....took a month to get it together..but that scoop kept me motivated..oh,,,cost $15 to get it towed..and i made sure he was at work when it showed up...my dad lost his freakin' mind when he realized it was in the back yard..it took him 2 days to "find" it..lol...good times..man....good times
