[Tigers] Bolt-on Hood Scoop On Original Hood?

[MWood24020 at aol.com]

Thanks, Jere, I didn't know that. I'm sure the fiberglass is also up to  
Steve's high standard.
 
Also, one of the scoops linked appears to be the larger 427 SC type, which  
is very similar to the '07-'08 Mustang Shelby GT's. The one I (personally) 
think  fits the Tiger is the smaller, FIA Cobra type, which was actually a 
part of the  Cobra's hood, originally, but works fine with pop rivets, also.

Steve  Alcala also had/has the same scoop in fiberglass.

I ordered what I thought was a replica of  the original Cobra FIA scoop from
Tony Branda and it ended up being the  same scoop as I have on my '07
Mustang  Shelby GT. It appeared out of  place when I mocked it up on the
Tiger,
as it was just too big and  covered too much hood space.The Cobra scoop is
smaller and more in scale  with the Tiger's hood, I'd say. I sent it  back.

Alcala makes a  very nice aluminum replica, but the price is very much in
line with his  great workmanship...

I'm sure, with more research, there is a good  source for a proper FIA Cobra
scoop at a reasonable price, but I've tabled  the idea for now...just can't
bear  the thought of cutting into my  freshly painted  hood!
