Hemi hood scoop rehabilitation?

[Brandy]

Anyone here have opinions on what to do to this scoop to get it back in usable shape?

I'd get it to the right shape from underneath , then a heat gun.

I think a new one would be cheaper than the hours to fix that. 2-cents

If you're doing the work yourself a little time and some fiberglass and you can fix it. If you're having to pay a body shop, just replace it. Time and materials eat up much of the cost of new one and then you still have a repaired part that may be good or might not last.

I'd bend a piece of tube that fits under the front lip. Then glass in in underneath. My scoop was a mess as we had bowed it up to pass a carb height rule.

Actually we raised the entire middle of the scoop and hood 2". It's now on the stock hood and all back to normal.

Once we have some hot days here in a few weeks as summer sets in I plan to set it out in the full sun on concrete and weigh down the edges while pulling the bottom sides inward with some steady pressure. Might pull it back into shape. I will see.

Put it on blacktop if you have any.

MY time is worth more than that. Those scoops aren't that costly.

Not if you have the dough.
