I found a pic last night of this coupe with a mopar shaker scoop. I really like that scoop, I just think it might look too "ricer". It looks out of place but maybe with the hood and scoop painted gloss black, it would look better? I'm not saying it doesn't look nice on that coupe, I'm just not sure it fits mine.I'm really leaning towards the 77-81 TA scoop. It isn't huge, and has a line down the middle that I can line up with my hood molding.

There's no turning back now! After I get the rails blasted, it'll be fit up time and then weld time! I think I might reinstall the inner pieces too. I have a plan to sleeve the inside where the cut I made is. I'll weld the sleeve in the frame so there is more structure and this will give me a place to rejoin the original inner pieces too.
I placed one rear fender on. I should be able to stuff some tire in there! There's 14" from the fender edge to the inner wheel house.Last edited by 40FordDeluxe; 01-13-2017 at 01:50 PM.
