Got the scoop today, It is like the ones that are on the 64 Ford Thunderbolt. I think it will loo ok when it is moled in and ther hood painted. I have a 100 percenter hood to put it on. Will be posting more pictures as work progresses.

Bobby, IMO please don't do it. Redsled looks so good the way she is.......

Also is that a 65 Belvy conv in the garage? Oh yes I love them. As you know, I have one as well for racing. (9.47@141mph)

Ok I understand although I would change the intake and carb to avoid rather thean the performance.

If your wife ever's decides to sell it please call me.

Dang the lines of the car & scoop really look awesome together.

Well went down to Troys shop this morning, He is going to try to start on moloding the scoop in the middle of the week if things don't sdtart booming. Hoply I will have it in painht and on the car before April 1st , But for the price he is charching to mold it on I can't complaign , Just charging for the materikal, wel I have done him quite a few favors.

I snapped a couple of pictures of his Chevelle while I was down ther, He has over 500 cI, I dont know exactly and rujnning on the bottle. He turns low 8's mabe high 7's Im sure anybody that has been in the club for any length of time at all knows I am not a checy guy But when a car goes like that and looks like this yu have to like them a little.

Troy and his Chevelle.

If that hood looks that good then yours definitely will look great when it's done.

Matt His hood is fiberglass scoop is already molded with the hoo We will have to mold mine in. Only bad thing about putting fiberglass on metasl they have a real good chance of cracking where they are glassed onh, but a guy has to do what a guy has to do.

Troy's Chevelle looks great and I do love Chevelle's as I recently sold my 70 LS6 all original. Man what a car... 454/450hp although more like 525HP from the factory. Please tell Troy I said good luck and race safely.

That SS is one sharp looking ride. Bet she sets your butt in the seat when you drop the hammer.

Yea Jim, I have never went near that fast in a drag car, Fastest I ever went was in the 10's . He had a really cool Nova that was a much better looking and better Drag car but he blew the engine in it ast Las Vegas a few years back and His business was slow right at the time and he couldn't afford to rebuild the enginwe so he sold it and bought this one. He has done a lot of work on this one. He is such a cool guy. I haven't known him but about 4 years but he is the kind of guy that remembers things others have done to help him out. Not a lot of people like that anyhmore, Mayhbe it is my age and they feel sorry for me anymore.

Well Guys I went down to Troys shop to check on my hood. Havent been there for a while on account of a cold. Well that was the first mistake, It started raining cats and dogs and stupid me didn't have any head gear on. Got soaked, Probly didn't help the cold any I was getting over. Well the Hood had been moved and I didn't see any progress on it, Troy had came back and he had just went after some metal blades to cut the hole with. Came in and I was talking to Lisle and saw him come in and act like I didn't see him and started bad mouthing him for not having it done and blaming him for me not to be able to race the 1st of April. He knew I was kidding because we go on like that to each other all the time. You know ther Mopar Cheby thing He offered to loan me the one on his Chevelle. So he said he had to go down and get the fiberglass and materials, so I tolh him I would go get it and pay for it because all I have to pay for is the materials, I have done him several favors to make up for it.

Well here is what It looked like when I first came in.



He came in and showed me the progress he had made.


If you see the line on the outer circle you can tell how big the hole wile be, It is something like 16-17


He started cutting the hole out and then the parts girl came in with a sensor for a BMW he was working on, he said he would try to get some done todasy afer that. That was about ther only job he wanted to get finished and out of the shop today. Well Igot my fingers crossed.

Cool.

Sometimes, getting started is the hardest part. I'm sure he'll have you all set in no time at all.

---John

Yea John, He will get her done, Can't turn back now hole is in the hood. That hood had a small hole in the back center must have been for a windshield waqsher squirter.

Well went down to Troys today, He had finished the hole in my hood but now is on the back burner again, Look what took my stall space. It belongs to Lyle he works at the shop. another nice Chevy Race car.

Tell him to get that piece of junk out of there and finish your car Bob.

Looking good so far.


That car has a nice color.

Yea Matt I just hope he gets it on here pretty soon. I started to warm my shop up this morning and get to work on the 58 doesn't need anything really just was going to check everything and the under neith, I check underneith real often, When you are racing you need to keep a close eye on everything , especially the drive train.

Went down to Troy's shop this morning and told him I heard a rumer that the hood was done. He laujghjed and said it was a rumer. But he did get the screen in the scoop and the hood all down to bare medal wqhere the scoop is going to be setting on. He said he would try to get her done for me by the end of the week.

Maybe it helped telling him what Jim said



I didn't get pictures of the hood he had it leaning in the corner but he pulled it oujt enough for me to see that he had it sdanded down

He had both the Racecars out of the shop today.



Here are some customers cars outside the shiop.

Man waiting is hard.




That is a nice car & truck.
