O K before I do this. {attachment} anybody know if you heat plexiglass to bend it to a shape?

I think Lexan would be a better investment than Plexiglas..... it's not breakable.

I know this is two years old, put I was wondering how the scoop held up?

I am looking at building one for a '70's Super Stock tribute car.

What did you use to fasten the pieces together?

Thanks!

Keith, Are you going to race the car?? If so at 130+ my scoop
came apart. I have used every type of glue that they say will work. The only one that I found to work good is

[Kim_Howie]

The glue I used is IPS Weld-on #16

IPS Corp.
Box 379
Gardena,Ca 90248

It worked the best. If your going to race 1/4 mile I would put brackets in the corners and screw them together. Kim

Thank's Kim!

Were the originals 3-piece? It looks like the one on the #1 ZL-1 was one-piece vacuum formed. And after seeing some pics of your car, I could have sworn you went with a one-piece design too in the last few years.

And yes, this will be going on a race car (not show car), so it will need to hold up to constant abuse (9.5's to 9.70's at 135 - 140 mph).

Thanks again for your help!
