1972 Ford F-100 Hoodscoop - Where The Bubble Meets The Metal

Before the third cut was made, the rear of the scoop was held down in place with one of these pin things.

With the Thunderbolt hoodscoop in place it was completely pinned down.

A quick double check for alignment.

The scoop flange was glued with SEM Dual-Mix...

...And then spread with a Good Humor stick.

Tom wasn't shy with the SEM.

"Carefully" was the word Tom used here.

One by one, the pins were reinserted.

Front ... and then to the rear.

Any visible gaps were filled in with additional Dual-Mix.

A special glove was used to spread the sticky Dual-Mix goo.

With all the pins in place and the Dual-Mix applied, it was essential to allow the SEM Dual-Mix 24 hours to dry (cure).

Twenty-four hours later the pins were removed and the Thunderbolt scoop was ready to be molded in.

The air disc-grinder was used to grind off the white gelcoat.

Then it was used to shape the hoodscoop into the hood.
