Did I ruin the cutout for my Hood Scoop?

- I have a hood scoop on my car that is not functional, and I want it to be functional. This video shows one way of cutting the hood to allow the scoop to do its job.
The car is a 1966 Mustang Fastback with a factory V8 and T5 transmission.

My first car was a 1965 Mustang. I've owned 4 Mustangs. I currently do not have one, and watching your videos makes me miss having a Mustang to work on. I need to go watch alllllll of your videos.
I like your thinking, maybe watch them all twice? :)
Looks pretty good, Andy. Tip for the edges: put some windlace around the newly-cut perimeter. Makes it look more finished when the hood is up. Had mine this way for years and it’s held up great.
That's a good idea, I'll have to look into that.
I used 1/4" windlace from j.c. whitney on my 65 fastback, make sure to cut it a little longer than what is needed, that way you can "fine tune" the final fit. I used the bolt-on shelby scoop, made a template, cut the hole etc..
Great job! Looking forward to the repaint videos, I have read people on the forums looking for repaints and the body shops presenting ridiculous quotes. Thanks again
I have no doubt it will be expensive. I think I found a guy here in town that does good work for a fair price, hoping he can help me get the car done. :)
Great work Andy! I’m wanting to do the same thing to my 68 fairlane in the near future. Also I recommend looking into a sheet metal nibbler, they make them for air compressor’s or drills and they make cutting metal easy, I love mine. Keep up the great work brother, and am looking forward to your future upgrades!
Thanks. I thought about those tools, but I have a hard time deciding on tools for projects or parts for projects, can't do both. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel no problem man, yeah I hear you.
As a fellow guy that is working on things myself like you. I think this turned out great! Nice job man
Thanks brotha! 👍
Nice job Andy! I have a 69 Fairlane with the period correct hood scoop I installed. No hole but just maybe…down the road. Keep up the great work, I enjoy all your videos!
Thanks for the support!
Yeah, I don't know if cutting the hood was the best choice, but I want a different hood anyways, so I figured I'd give it a go for the time being. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel the best part is it adds 50hp! 😁
Good job done there Andy
Thanks 👍
For a period-correct sealed cold air intake system, first replace the stock air filter with a 1965 GT350R plenum, which can be purchased from Cobranda or similar. Then measure and cut a matching circle in your hood. Attach cut foam to the hood, to seal the two together when the hood is closed. The top filter section of a 9" Aeroflow air filter can be used for filtration if needed (recommended, but they just used mesh in 1965!)
Thanks for the advice.
Good mod. They sell an air clean top hat (from K&N) that has air filter material so it turns the top of your air filter into an inlet. I'm running one on my car. It'll help with air flowing from the scoop to the carb.
I've seen those, it's on the list of maybe's. :)
I think you did a fine job 👍
Thanks!
The suspense is gonna kill me!!
It's all part of the plan. :)
I use grinders a lot at work and what I found is if you cut short of your goal especially on thin metal you can always follow it up with a grinder especially on rounded corners and make it look smooth. You may end up being out a 16th but if that transition is smooth no one will notice. And when I say follow it up with a grinder I mean a grinding wheel not a cutting wheel you could even use one of those sanding discs and take your time with it and you would be amazed what you can do
I was able to get her where I wanted, considering the plans for the hood. Everyone will get to see it once I put the engine back in. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel As I have watched your channel I have learned to never doubt! I'll just throw my commentary in anytime what you do overlaps with anything I have a clue about or I have a question that will make sense. Thanks Andy!
@@AndyKruseChannel for some reason I sense a 3-in cowl induction hood. My crystal ball also predicted a 347 LOL you're the best man.
Andy I have a perfect glass wimbelton white guardsman blue hood hanging on my wall. It was on my Shelby but then I found the factory hood so a spare now hangs if it interests you cowboy
Tempting, but the shipping is going to be so ridiculous, that it will negate any kind of awesome deal we could strike up. But I do appreciate the offer! :)
You can also put protection around the edges. Edge protection but choose it so that no dirt and moisture can collect.
Yeah, someone mentioned windlace, which is a fantastic idea. :)
Those. 99 cent pool noodles work great for protecting the hood.
Good idea I'll have to remember that one!
That's a great idea.
Great pulls sounds great could you please tell me your exhaust set up with muffler types thank you as always kept videos coming
JBA headers and h-pipe, Flowmaster 40 series mufflers. I have a video on the exhaust for this car. :)
Can't lie the 67-68 turn signal hood looks awesome. Just like the terminator cobras
Yeah. there are a few decent hood designs out there. :)
Yep, hood takeoff and put on needs to be a 2 person job. I attempted that once by myself. Should have hollered, I could have ran by and helped and helped with that electric power steering. :-)
Haha, next time?
Yeah, I dinked the paint in the corner where I put the towel to support the hood while I removed the bolts on the other side. I'd be mad if this was my final paint, but since it's getting painted down the road, it's fine. :)
timely... I need to cut my 67 hood for carburetor & air cleaner clearance... measure twice.. cut once.. lol
Hopefully yours will turn out better than mine. :)
I suggest a fiberglass hood with integral scoop.
It'll likely be something like that.
Hi Andy! You are much too hard on yourself. The job looks fine. As good as one could expect for DIY project. After all, the car is not going to Mecum or Barret Jackson auction, right? lol
Love and blessings from Motown/Dearborn.
Thanks 👍
Bodywork and paint are not in my wheelhouse, so unfortunately this is about as good as it gets. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel I am a professional paint and bodywork hack Andy!
Takes a absolute without a doubt genius to cut a hole in the hood of that car what is the point so you can get water in your carburetor when it rains. ? Is it going to make it run 5 miles an hour faster. ?
You my friend are a fool
Yes, I'm an idiot. But that's ok, because I don't plan on keeping this hood down the road, so it doesn't hurt to chop it up right now. Plus, I don't drive the car in rain or bad weather, so the wet conditions are not an issue for me. :)
I can’t see why a scoop would be fitted without a hole being cut in the first place? What’s the point?
Great question. I didn't bother to ask the previous owner about it when I bought the car, but it didn't matter, I would have bought it anyway. :)
Did not cut a circular pattern, cut an isosceles or delta pattern.
Not sure what you're saying here.
