sled city hoodscoop

[BBodyC]

anyone out there purchase a hoodscoop from sled city recently. I have a question

 

[Preachr]

I haven't purchased one from sled city, but, I have purchased one from Stinger fiberglass.
Don't know if that would work for a question answer ??

I didn't buy one, but I looked at one in person. It was a Max Wedge style, not really what I wanted, but a VERY NICE quality piece. Give him a call. My AAR Hemi style is perfect for me.

I purchased one and when it arrived it had a gray primer finish..seemed like there was no gelcoat. I expected a white , hard, smooth type finish

I don't believe Larry Gel-coats his items ? My Hemi scoop was just primed, and needs fit & finish work...

ALL of Ted J super bird and Daytona parts had the grey coating ,you would be hard pressed to find better parts !

This is Larry at Sled City Fiberglass. Just like EVERY company we use a gel coat. We have been switching from grey to white here in the last year or so. I personally like the white because it reflects the heat when I am doing an outdoor show. Black parts will burn you if out in the sun and have a tendantcy to warp in the sun. As for your grey scoop, it is gel coated grey. You prep it like a steel part. Sand it, prime it, sand with 600 and paint your color. Now if you are getting a really shiney piece of fiberglass, you have to get all that shine off and I do mean all of it. Send me a picture when it is installed on your car.

I will..thank you. Mine was a dull grey finish..as i posted I was expecting a white glossy finish...just because that is what I had seen in the past..

I have one of Larry’s 64 hemi scoops. Good scoop and I like the studs mounted into the bottom for easier install. Little sanding here and there to make it fit the hood contour perfectly but all good. I’d buy again.

Do you offer multiple heights for the 65Hemi scoop or just factory height?

I also make the 4.5" 64-65 Hemi scoop for $325. It is a good seller and it is cheap horse power. If you want to go taller, it's only time and money.
