After taking several months off from my build, I jumped back in with a new found energy and drive. First up was getting the oil cooler scoop fabricated correctly. Two failed attempts by two different places cost me $700 and all I got was junk. This time I transported the body to Full Scale Hotrods in Ventura, CA. Three weeks later, I now have the correct aluminum scoop in was after. It was made with .040 3003 aluminum sheet. The front lip was bent over for the correct look. It was then hand forced into shape, then weld welded to the mounts. It was well worth the $1000
