Old School hood scoops WIW
Testing the waters of a value for 2 hood scoops I have.
1)I bought a grumpy lump fiberglass back around 79'. Not the hood, just the scoop. It had L brackets on the inside to mount it. Will try and get a pic. but, you guys know what it is. I did mount it on a flat 69 Camaro hood, looks like new. 2)I took this off a Ford BITD. It is a fiberglass teardrop with the screens in the openings. It too is in decent usable shape or I would have pitched it years ago. It was the move from H-- 21 years ago bringing all this stuff to the farm, just getting around to unpacking some stuff. Thanks guys and sYc. |

Re: Old School hood scoops WIW
I'd build a mold and make a run of those! From that basic design, a few different styles can be made.

Re: Old School hood scoops WIW
I believe my "Grump Lump" is cut at the front for air entry? I see a part number from AA on there I recall?? Will need to go to shop to check that.
Mine is really nice shape as well and I guess could be used as a "PLUG" is someone wanted to. BUT it DOES NOT seal the leading or front of the scoop to the hood. Has about an inch opening. John |
Re: Old School hood scoops WIW
John,
Is yours wider in the front than the rear as James's scoop? Speedway has a repro. similar to yours with the opening in the front. While I have not held one in my hand the Speedway dimensions do not mention a width difference front to rear. |
Re: Old School hood scoops WIW
Also, John, is your "Lump" ABS plastic or, like mine, fiberglass. I believe a fiberglass as being older and then the plastic became the norm in the late 70s.

Re: Old School hood scoops WIW
Guys, I will try today and get some info off it, but "might" be tomorrow.
My scoop is NOT FOR SALE and thanks to those who PM'ed me, but I'm looking at putting the scoop my '69 Nova with a ZLX with the Edelbrock TR2-X tunnel ram after I do the ZL-1 that's going in it now. |

Hey Dave, Hate to hijack the thread, but how is your Mustang coming?
Man, I love that car. |
Re: Old School hood scoops WIW
Ok will post picture soon, but mine WITH opening is 37 OVERALL long, 7 3/4" high, front width is 17 and rear width is 15. Rear opening is 4 1/2" high.
The A/A part # I have a nice picture of. The inside is fabric like, so maybe old fiberglass mat???? Hope this helps |

Re: Old School hood scoops WIW
i had a 65 L79 chevelle with a grump lump....thought it was the coolest thing on the planet...that scoop made me the coolest kid in my group of flunkeys..it had a scoop..it had to be fast...
i was 14 and had to make payments on a $50 dollar car..lol...12 bolt..high redline tach...4 speed...burgandy with black interior..wrong motor..but heads, intake and carb where with the car...and i sold that stuff for $75 when i got it home....it was the first car i bought on my own...and $50 was a lot of money..youd shovel a driveway for 1 or 2 bux....mow grass for $2-5 and had to supply gas etc..i collected soda bottles at 2 cents deposit etc....took a month to get it together..but that scoop kept me motivated..oh,,,cost $15 to get it towed..and i made sure he was at work when it showed up...my dad lost his freakin' mind when he realized it was in the back yard..it took him 2 days to "find" it..lol...good times..man....good times |
Re: Old School hood scoops WIW
John,
That's a nice scoop. The scoops shown, appear to be two different manufacturers. The first having a chopped matting and the yours with marine grade(?). Is the A&A glassed in or a sticker? |

I agree that there from different manufacturer's as well. Just showing what an A A Grump Lump scoop looks like |
Re: Old School hood scoops WIW
Picked up a new or like new fiberglass bolt on hood that I found on Indy CL. Drove home to Ohio from U.S. Nats. in Indy with the hood tied down to the roof of our Avalon. Laid my scoop on top to see how it will look. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...6-img_3947.jpg

Re: Old School hood scoops WIW
Does anyone make the grump lump molded into a first gen Camaro hood / full fiberglass one any more?

Re: Old School hood scoops WIW
I think I recall a guy in Ohio doing them.
Honestly though, there are good fiberglass hoods out there and a few of the fiberglass Grump lumps, you could just glass them together. Glassing to steel can get sketchy, but glass to glass would be great. |
