Re: Tell me what you think
I think it is a 2 1/4" scoop. I will describe the process I did so you have an idea. I used 80 grit and sanded the area where the scoop will be. I primered this area. I put the scoop on the hood and trimmed the front to go over the rib of the hood. I then eye balled the scoop on the center of the hood because I couldn't measure this one because it was on a hood once before. Then I used 80 grit and cleaned the surface of the scoop. I reinstalled it on the hood, used self tapping screws and mounted the scoop. I marked the edges as well as the inner lip at the opening at the rear of the hood. I removed the scoop and sanded to bare metal with 80 grit again. I cleaned it all and then applied the epoxy on the scoop first. I laid the scoop on the hood and then screwed it down. Then I epoxied all the way around the scoop. I then used masking tape and put over the epoxied area to smooth it out. I let it set over night and then removed the tape and screws. I epoxied the screw holes shut and let them dry. Then I took a sanding block with 80 grit and sanded it to a contoured angle or smooth. I used bondo and beveled it back all the way around the scoop. I sanded it out with 80 grit and used spray bomb primer for now. I will have to go over the filler with a glazing putty when I put some real filler primer on it. I was happy with the way it turned out for my first real time doing this. The last time I attempted one of these I didn't get the scoop on correct because it too was used but I didn't notice the scoop was bent on one side causing it to be lob sided.
