Okay Denny Just for you I flipped the scoop around....(see first pic) I'm just not feeling it, so I flipped it back and cut and fit everything in today. Looks to be a pretty straight forward and easy modification, I'm going to have to add some metal to the front to fill the factory dips in between the headlight buckets and center bulge. The underhood bracing is going to take a little extra work to resemble a factory look, I kind of figured on this before I started cutting, I think I'll make a reinforcement pan with a big center oval and add all the contours to resemble a factory stamped piece and replace the center bracing with it...more small taters

Ross loved your hood idea so much that as soon as he put it back the way he like's it he started adding rivits..... I like it this way.....

I gave it my best effort but I just wasn't feelin' it. Keep sendin' me idea's, hell you got me to ditch the Corvette tip and spend several weeks modifying stuff most people will never notice, so don't give up.
 
I pondered the same thing, except I worried about the bonding agent cracking. Could just be my ignorance combined with parania though. Mine will be welded unless someone convinces me otherwise. Definite benefit to not putting heat to the hood though!

Unfortunatley thats the type of quality folks we have here in Akron, Can't say I'm real proud of our city but it is what it is, If the wife would be willing to move, we would be out of here and moving down South.
 
Ross,

If you are pondering ideas for the tips. I think a smaller version of the tailight bezels would be neat

Thats exactly what my Dad said....Keep me in mind if any jobs open up down there\\:D/, I keep checking on USAJOBS..
 
take it from a guy that spent 5 years in WV....there is no place like home...especially as your parents get older (sorry Dave)....and your dad is as cool as yours.

you have checked out his shop haven't you???
 
Ross,

Currently in my squadron there are two openings on USAJOBS. One is a GS-12 TMO Transportation Management Officer and a WG-10 Industrial MX person with heavy Electrical skills. I think they both close tomorrow.
