I appreciate that Chris. But you can rest assured that there will be no hood ornament on the Monster.If you decide later on that you want a hood emblem-here's two suggestions for your consideration
lol
Let it go Chris ........let it go.

Well, caving in and buying that Mustang would be the easier of the two, .............. err,.... Wait.
You were only suggesting I copy the hood design for the Monster, not buy the whole car weren't you?
Oh good. For a minute there, I thought you were suggesting I'd lost my mind.
Just being an ass hole again Nick,...(Just in case you read all the stuff I write.)
In reality, the Mustang scoop you pictured is equivalent to the 3rd Gila Gill. (the currently installed version)
For posterity, and as visual aid to make my point:
V1 G gill:
v2
final:
( Oh my God, look at the dash,......there used to be an "actual" 89 dash in this car)
v3. Flush, un-obstrusive. Probably not as functional as the previous two versions w/ regard to ducting air into the radiators,...but that's what seemed to work.
So w/ reagard to the hood, You got the 65 scoops (that only Stykthyn liked) = v1.
The 67 style I've made (more integrated less obnoxious) = v2
The 2016 G Nostril = v3
Or is a flush scoop w/ a recessed opening a v4?
As I live and breathe:

Edit:
Too bad there aren't two of them. They'd make great fender badges.

Seriously, that would have been perfect!
But, lest we forget and have Mike remind us, once the monster is complete, it will no longer be the Gila Monster, just a plaIn old Cyclone then.....

Oh duhhhhhh, paint fumes were getting to me Chris.Cyclone.......
This car stopped being a " plain ol fairmont" the first day a cut off wheel got laid on the body.
Matter of fact....
With the exception of the doors and roof, nothing else has escaped a cutoff wheel.
And while I certainly appreciate noobz' search for the ultimate reptilian hood/ fender ornament,........one of these days the car stops being a pain in the ass, slow moving, ugly, belly dragging lizard and becomes Dorothy and toto's one way trip to OZ.
And my one way trip to the cover of HotRod magazine.

That happens will you autograph a copy for us/me? Lol
Hey Mikey, I really am looking forward to seeing the monster (and you, of courseThis car stopped being a " plain ol fairmont" the first day a cut off wheel got laid on the body.

).I'll do my best to give you a paint job you can be excited about. I have friends that have shot this product with great success, and I know I paint better than them. No big head there, no matter how good I am at painting, I'm still just a painter, BDD. Just objectively, I can produce a better quality of work then these other painters, and they say they can really lay that paint out.
I've always been able to make a single stage paint job lay out very smooth.
I can't wait to see your car with a super slick paint job. It'll help to really show off all of that hard work you have put in it, even with all that towel throwing stuff. Glad you're letting me be part of it.
Hot Rod huh? Wouldn't that be just about fckin awesome? Hope it makes it Mike.
Sure Chris. If you buy the magazine for 5 bucks, it'll be worth 4.50 after I do.

It'll make it. It's all about how well it all comes together, Dave. I'm confident the paint won't be a problem,...It'll all come down to the combo and being in the right place, at the right time.
And I'm not "letting" you be part of the Monster,.....The Monster appreciates all those that would contribute to his date with destiny.

So here's the deal, v4 sounds like a damn good idea, except for that whole time limit thing... And Mikey, of course I read all your ramblings. How do you think Ive gotten to know you so damn well to know not only how to push your buttons, but to fill your head with new ideas that you probably shouldnt execute? Such as hood version v4. Do it.
Hey,....he was just voting his conscience.
Kinda like 80% of the representatives of the GOP trying to find a way to vote democratic.

Wait.... What's Option 4?
It is the mix between option A and C, with a side of of recessing.
