    T/A hood scoop only in fiberglass?
    « on: December 13, 2005 - 06:42:48 AM »
    Hi guys,

    I have a question that I'm toying with and would appreciate you input.  Thanks in advance for any info.

    Does anyone know of a fiberglass T/A style hood scoop only, not the full hood or steel scoop ($800!).  It would be mounted on a steel flat Challenger hood.  Is this doable?  Any insight will be greatly appreciated.  Did a search and couldn't get any info to my liking.  Thanks guys! :biggrin:

    Someone on here posted a website where the company was making the hoodscoop in steel. You would just buy it and weld it on.

    It was pricey too though

    My car has a fiberglass hood scoop mounted onto the flat steel hood. I have seen them advertised, but I forget where. I'll have a look later for you.

    Thanks for the replies, guys!

    I looked into the steel one but $800 is too much for me.

    I like the Six Pack scoop.  MAS fiberglass sells them for a reasonable price but I was looking more for a TA scoop.  I think they make them but they are already on a fiberglass hood or something.  I was just interested in the scoop.

    Thanks again for the info! :thumbsup:

    I plan on doing the same.  Either find a decent  (cheap) t a hood or modifing mine. This is a site that has the reasonable priced,  I don't know the quality.  Which one of us are going to be brave enough? http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/challeng.html

    Did you check with Unlimited?  They are a fiberglass body parts manufacturer, and I seem to remember seeing just the scoop there before.  But that has been a while ago.

    Thanks again for the info guys!

    Hey brotow, love the Javelins!  I always remember the cranberry purple one I used to see when I was little!  The site you suggested had the whole fiberglass hood (bolt on) for $395 US$.  They'll ship US orders from Buffalo, NY.

    Hopalong suggested Unlimited and they sell a fiberglass scoop only for about $120.  If you have a flat hood already, this is a decent deal.  6 Pack scoops cost less ($60-$80) I guess because they're easier to make.

    They sell a whole fiberglass hood for about $450.  It looks like a quality part.

    We'll see.....I have to do a lot of other things first I guess but this looks vewwy intawesting.....

    Hey superblue 72 let me know how the ta hood works out.  The purple Amx has a 401/4spd,  with only 37k.  The primed one is redone to it's original black on black 360/auto, and is for sale, (need $$$ for 70 Chall project).  The blue Javelin is a 6cyl/auto 70k.
