Cut it or buy fiberglass?

71_Duster · Apr 25, 2014

After my recent carb fire I need to fix the paint blister on my Belvedere's hood. I've always wanted the 67' RO scoop so the plan was to buy one. However I am fearful to chop the hole in the hood to make it functional. Looking at AAR I could get a bolt on hood but shipping to Canada is killer.

Anyone done a hood scoop and wished they hadn't?

Second question is AAR vs Sled City. See so many Sled city reviews but they don't answer any e-mail it seems.

If it has a warp in the metal due to the fire heat just cut it. If not and it's in good shape a FiberGlass hood may be in order ?

I have a hood scoop on my car no regrets but I have a extra hood if I want to take it off

No warp just blistered the paint bad.

The fiberglass hood is nearly $400 in shipping alone plus paint etc. Can't imagine a 67' Belvedere hood is too tough to find?
