Yep, had a set of those on my '39 Ford coupe with a '48 AB Merc motor,
complete with aforementioned red painted chrome scoops...can you say
"snazzy" ? I don't think I'll run right out a put a set of em on the gt6
cause I really don't wanna cut holes in the hood. BUT, I still like the
idea, can't be any worse than a set of the Weber DGV style carbs on the TR
6 cyl motor.
Still think it might be a "slick" install...
