Default Hood Scoop

I widened it 2.5 inches to narrow margin around the factory hole in the hood it will still open and close as I hit the gas however not really forces air into the carb since it is a forced air injection system but will still look cool.Thanks

What a great idea. The scoop really doesn't fill the hole as well as it could.

Nice project! I like the fuel filler, scoop modification, and spoiler extension. Please keep us up to date as you progress.

I met Andy back in November at the Moultrie swap meet. He came over looking at the Freedom Birb, and then started talking about his project. And I was floored!! Garage cars rule!! This guy as you can tell has some talent. Been telling him to get his but on here and post some pics. Looking forward to following the build.

See you this weekend in Moultrie

Uh, before you get to the gas and a match, call me. I will arrange the shipping to my house.

They can all be a pain in the butt at times, but in the long run looking back you will be glad you finished it.

Step away from the matches, you are building my dream car! I think it is cool that your wife is into it. To me, that would be cooler than a bunch of car guys, of course we think it is cool.

Default Matches

Ok maybe I went over board with the matches but I have flunge many items all over the shop, but torch it no way the insurance wouldn't cover a fraction of what I have tied up in it.So I'll keep plugging along until her arrival which should be at the Year One show and hopefully the Bandit Run. Keep your fingers crossed.
