Do you have the turn signal indicators that goes in the back end of the scoop?

On my '68 Mustang, it has the factory louvered hood with the turn signal indicators in the center of the louvers on each side.

The scoop is not painted yet. I am going to paint it black this weekend and hand it off to my older brother to hand paint something on the top and then I will clear coat it.


Last month at a local car show, I picked up a set of original turn signal assemblies and the wiring harness with bulb sockets. The Mustang vendor wanted $120 for the parts and wouldn't budge, so I walked. 2 hours later I found the parts, in better shape and paid $32

From $120 down to $32. What a deal. Did you walk back by the Mustang vendor and show them off?

Oh, believe me, I wanted to.

Now, do I just splice into the existing turn signal wires or

Correct wiring harness extension
3G alternator upgrade
Headlight relays

Hmmmmmmmmm...........

This flat black paint is hard to get smooth. Not so much on the sides, back end, or front end, but the larger surface. I know it's because I am using a rattle can and the short width of the spray. I have to make so many passes, that it's hard to get it right. I never really noticed it on the lighter colors that I have sprayed.

The 3G and headlamp relays is always a good idea for multiple reasons. I think you can tap in to the original T/S wiring but you have to do it so they don't come on with the park lamps. The 1969 mustang hood turn indicators took industry number 1895 bulbs. (C3AZ13466B) #1895 bulbs were only 2 candle power. Compared to the #1157 bulbs front and back were 32.3 candle power each. So I doubt hooking up the hood bulbs will slow the turn signals down any.

Just have to cut out the areas on the hood and mount it.

2X. I always did think that was a Bad Azz lookin' scoop. Hey Pat, was it Bobby that was talking about 69 Mustang-I-fying his Bump a while back? Wonder how he's doing.

I messed around with the scoop all day. I had to enlarge the signal indicator openings for 2 reasons.

1 - Enlarged the bottom edge so that the scoop would rest on the hood.
2 - Enlarged the top by about 3/4" so that the bulb hole was fully exposed and so that all prongs of the bulb socket fit securely in the hole.

On the newly exposed metal, I masked around it and sprayed some clear to prevent rusting.

I also had to ream holes in the underside of the hood to allow me to push the bulbs into the indicator assemblies.
