Golden Goddess heart surgery

Mid 60's Fords had twist in caps with the proper spacing between the tab and the gasket. All the usual chrome twist ins have too close of a gap between those to points resulting in ether bending of the tab or breaking off. Learned this back in the early 80's when I worked at the speed shop. You get a cap like mine for running a PCV or you can get one that has holes on the backside of the cap for breathing.

Holy thread resurrection Batman ! Yes we’re back for more I have no idea what I’m doing, I don’t have the right tools, but I have a dream and I’m going to make things happen , because there’s no rules (just a couple of possible legal issues,) with having fun!

And with that on to the next step in bringing back the street freak style / fulfilling my 5 year old dream . We have the big tires, the back end in the air , and some crazy paint , but what’s missing ? A hemi hood scoop ! Because it looks cool ! Now this year I’ve worked insane hours , which means this has been dragging on for months, but I’m finally a point I can start posting , and hopefully work on this more

So, the first part was in February I found a satellite hood for $50, 1 big dent and a little surface rust but it was perfect. Some time after that I bought the cheapest hemi scoop I could find, which wasn’t too bad of a purchase, a little wavy and a few scratches but oh well it can be fixed. And then in June with some fantastic help from @5.7 hemi , yes I am making sure the hate mail comes to you too! We cut a nice hole in the fairly nice satellite hood. Some time after that it went back to my house where I did the little things to make the big difference. I glued in a piece of 1/8 x 1 aluminum to add some strength to the front, I’ll glass it in later for even more strength , and then cut down some 1/4” brake line as spacers and support for the 10/32 screws. And now it’s together and ready for body work and paint , and whoever is interested has a wall of text to read !

Nothing too exciting….unless you enjoy the fumes of Fibral lite …not my choice of chemicals to huff , but I’ve never done any fiberglass work and I heard this is good stuff. After smearing it on in places that needed attention , and letting it cure , we shall see just how easy it sands and paints like I’ve heard it supposedly is
