I though he just stared at it with a leather jacket, a cigar with the Soprano's theme music in the background and it just popped in there. Then he walked away.
Or he hand made it.

OK after a lot of E-Bay searching I think I found the co. I bought the scoop fom Importzx they carry a lot of fiberglass scoops,as far as the work involved in doing a custom hood there is a lot of prep work to get it right and toprovide fresh air you will have to cut a hole I used the GM SE rain stop on the inside ,installing it requires sanding to metal then pop rivets about 4" spacing then fiberglass then bondo then primer then colour then clear then you buff it out and your done easy as pie .Chico(pops)

The most important part is not the brand names but a good clean install ,I use a bead of GM panel adhesive before pop rivets then grind the edge of the joint down then short strand fibergass reinforced filler then a quality body filler ,this is a difficult project for a beginner but doable if you are the meticuless type.Chico (pops)

Hi Chico!
How did you cut the structure at the inner part of the hood?, I asked sometime, and this guy told me that it was not good to cut the frame and structure of the hodd cause it could get twisted
