Lightbulb Maverick Grabber Hood Scoops on '79 TRUCK Hood!

I ran across this on another forum.....

NORTH COUNTRY SPECIALTIES

I thought it looked kinda KOOl & you dudes here just might want to take a look......

I've been lookin' for "something" along these lines for my '56 Effie...but I don't think
the hood lines will match up too well......

Kinda radical tho...check it out...

Damn!! That looks WAY better than I thought it would as I was clicking on the link!

Blends really nicely into the 79's hood lines......

I like it!!

Now that is sexy, but can you imagine the size of the air cleaner to feed the ram air? LOL

......and it would be like lifting the weight of two hoods at once!

I might just need to steal, ah, "borrow" that idea for my hood!

Pretty sweet.... in my opinion if the hood rose in the center along with the scoops it would add more of a muscle look to it. Good work, I wish my body skills were that good!

Thumbs up ...

...man this has got me thinkin'...

Tryin' to boot up an old CAD system to see what I can "morph"
together...

I think your right-on about that center hood idea...setup would be killa
with maybe a '70 mach I scoop in the center of the entire thing...

Man...talk about MASS AIR FLOW....no ducting required....

Just some stuff to think about...since it's pouring AGAIN!!!
