[Tigers] hood scoop

[Buck Trippel]

As Michael posted, the LAT fiberglass hood scoop was fiberglass and was 
attached by pop rivets to the hood when it was installed on Shelby 
American's race Tiger driven mainly by the Lew Spencer (and raced once by 
Ken Miles).

BTW, That actual hood and scoop was on the Tiger when Rootes passed it on to 
Sports Car Forum. The hood stayed with the car after the rebuild and still 
exists today (unrestored) with the Shelby yellow showing through in a few 
spots.
