Default Re: Yenko Optional Twin Sport Mirrors

Has anyone considered the possibilty that the hoodscoop shown in the Deuce prototype photos is a one-off hand-made piece fabbed up at Yenko for the "mock-up" pics of the Deuce? I mean considering the fact is known the car itself was just a 6 cylinder car with blue guts, whats to say the hoodscoop itself wasnt created out of nothing... with the anticipation of later ordering the scoops from Dixco or wherever... then by the time the COPO Novas actually arrived, Don changed his mind about offering it for whatever reason, (price, availability, difficulty of install, etc.) That would explain why there were no pics taken of the backside of the hoodscoop during that publicity photo shoot, and would also explain why no one has ever seen one quite like the one in the pics... He may have had a scoop constructed in-house, based on the photos the had seen elsewhere, making his 0ne-off scoop
similar enough to what he planned to later offer, and making it "close-enough" in design to use for the B&W press photos. Just something to consider...
