hood scoop

[kelly]

going to put a max wedge hood scoop on my 62 tomorrow. Going to cut the hood for my 6 pack carbs. Anyone done this and how does it work.
Thanks

I taped off my entire hood then cut the hole with a cutting wheel and jig saw. Scariest thing I've ever done but thank got no mistakes! I cut a large piece of foam the same size as my air cleaner (or multiple air cleaners for your 6 pack) covered it in wet orange spray paint and then placed it on top of the air cleaners. Close the hood gently and then lift up. Leaves a perfect stencil of where to cut.
