442 Hood scoop measurements
Could someone with a cutlass 442 with the dual ram air hood scoops give me the measurments of the hood scoops. I have a extra hood for my jetstar 1 and I wanna reproduce the 442 scoops. Keep one original and one custom And some nice closer up pics would be great. Thanks guys

Im not too familiar with the jetstar lines, but Im going to assume the jetstar's hood is bigger and longer. I would try to make some scoops to follow the hood lines for that size of car rather then the 442 ram air hood being an exact replica which could look a lil out of place on such a large car. I was looking at doing the same thing to a stock flathood on my cutlass, and just kind of "go with the flow updated look" as I will be putting a few modern things on my car.
maybe some pics?

Yeah I have the idea I'm gonna run with it. As this should be fairly easy with a brake. The lines of the hood look pretty straight so two nice big ones side by side would be cool. I mainly just wanted the hieght of the scoop off the hood. I wanna make the right height because I'll determine the width of each. Just don't want them to be to skinny on that big car Thanks for the response I know I'm being a pest

not being a pest at all..I wish there was a modified section of this forum so we can all share some of the mods we have done, or can do to our Oldsmobiles. I definitely love the classics, but you have to have patience and money to do them right(concours) whereas some of us want to update, and customize our rides.
