I have a favor to ask. As this is my first post, and I don't have a Camaro, I can imagine some won't want to bother with me.

I have a 61 Chevy bubbletop that has a fiberglass induction scoop on the hood. I am starting the process of redoing the car. It is cracking at the attachment location.

I think the best way to remedy that would be to cut off the induction cowl from a reproduction metal hood and weld it on.

Could someone here with a 69.with an induction hood measure from the back of the scoop to where it disappears into the front of the hood? As well, measure the width.

Much appreciated.

 

welcome to the site and very nice 61! what motor is in it? I noticed the plastic emblem in the grill is the big block on. my grandpa just got rid of his 61 impala ss. wish I could help but my Camaro has a ss hood on it.

 

Thanks

I have a LS3 crate engine waiting to be put in with a 4L70e transmission. Going to be a long project.

 

very kool.

 

Looks like no takers yet on getting those dimensions to me.

I just looked at your Video. That Camaro sounds good.

Just for fun, here is a to a video of my 56 back in 2006. This was when I had a small blower on a 350 in it. I made it to show while I was trying to sell the engine.

I miss that sound.

 

I'll take some measurements for you and post them later.

 

very cool sounds good, just got the 56 custom my grandfather is restoring up and running. has a loud gear drive in it and a big cam.

 

Thanks...not necessary now. I got the answer on another forum.

I have purchased the repo hood, and have the induction scoop cut out. There's a little more grinding and fitting to do, but will be welding in before long.

 

COOL! Very nice job. Sounds good. Radical 50's custom.

Mine was originally done as a mild 50's custom. When I changed the engine and interior, I took off the lake pipes, and tear drops.

Fun, but expensive, hobby.

 

Seems I'm a little late for you (I just got in from measuring it). It looks like it's going to work out for you well. I personally don't like most of the "aftermarket" cowl look-a-likes because they're to tall for my taste. If you're running a tunnel ram or blower set-up I'd much rather see those sticking out of the hood than an abnormally large cowl hood. To each his own I guess.
Post a pic of the finished project please. I'm sure it's going to look great on it.
