RE: Hood scoop progress

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I twisted Dodger's arm and 62pluckedchicken but both can't make it. 

I am going to bend down the metal around the scoop opening on the hood  
about an inch and then probably pop rivet the scoop to it. I was even 
thinking of tek screws but was worried they might work loose.

I am going to paint the interior of the scoop black. I'm undecided about 
the hood itself and the scoop. Maybe I could put some of the 318poly 
decals, like the valve covers, on the sides. (Schyler, I'll need some 
more.) I have been thinking of the light blue color like the interior. 
I'd like to do the strip in between the Polara side chrome in that blue 
color someday and maybe the middle of the trunk lid too. That'll make 
the car seem less like a major appliance. I'm not a fan of white!
