The "crimp style" is kind of rough. It's difficult to flange the entire hood without deforming it. I know of 2 that took more than 4 hours of body work to be"flat" after that mod. I havent tried Scott's stuff yet. But when the time comes, I will use his. As far as fitting various intakes..The best way is to mod the hood, install the driveline, and start modifying. I modified a few Snobar pieces. The repro parts were decent. IMO made a little too thin or from cheaper steel, but not bad. I wasnt thrilled with the quality of Ben's attempt at engineering a part via car owner's request...But I would have trouble making something with no pattern or mockup too.
