Are you talking about the Shelby side scoops? The ones that replace the factory fake vents?

They are relatively common, but I see them on '68s a bit more (same part and all).

You can get them from several places.

Maier Racing in Hayward has them for about $110 each. I got mine from Tony Branda Shelby and Mustang. As with all fiberglass, expect to massage them to get them to fit (and they may never be perfect - even on original Shelbys the fit was less than perfect).

I don't have any close-ups of them, but here's a couple pics of my car from different angles:

Are you talking about the uppers (fastback only) or the lowers? I bought my lowers from Branda, uppers from Mustangs Unlimited via ebay and saved a few bucks. The quality of the uppers was very nice indeed. My fastback is aprt right now, so if you need a pic of how they're mounted, just say so and I'll snap a couple pics, they weren't too bad. Mind you, I put functional (I don't hang non-functioning decorations on my car) '67 scoops on my '68, and they took a bit of work, but overall it wasn't brain surgery and came out nicely.

I have 'em on my car. I had to drill holes in the car to fit them, and there was a little sanding, but the look is worth it. I will someday cut a bigger hole and duct air to my rear brakes.

Someone with far more patience than I managed to fit 65/66 side scoops on a 67/68 and it looked awesome. He had a 4.6 DOHC too if I remember correctly.

I would be putting them on my coupe; but as far as "Massaging" them in how much work would that be.because ive never worked with fiberglass before.

Myfirst67,

Thanks for the compliment - this is my first 67 as well (although I've had it since 1980!).

Since you are in the area, you should check out the Nor Cal Shelby Club. They have several track events each year and the next one is in June (at Thunderhill Raceway, about 2 hours north of us). The next event (the Mini-Nats - our big event for the year) should bring out some of the really beautiful Mustangs, including some of the finest Shelby's on the West Coast (plus Cobras, Tigers and even a vintage GT40 or two!). You can get some great ideas for your car there. I and my buddies will have several cars up there for some Open Track fun - come on up and hang out for a while. Maybe you'd like to go for a few laps with one of us? Warning: one event has been known to lead to absolute addiction!

Back to those scoops: working with them really isn't that difficult. You will have to drill a couple holes (I'm pretty sure it was two per side) in the correct spot (I had a body shop do it because they were repairing a dent in that spot on one side). Then I used a rasp (kind of a rough file) to get the fit close, then sanded them down to fit better. As soon as you hold them in place, you'll see what I mean about fit. I just held them up and marked with a pencil or crayon where I needed to take material from. Fiberglass is pretty easy to work with, really.

One other note: I wasn't reallly happy with the scoops until I put the rocker stripes on (too much white with nothing to really break it up). I think the stripes really changed the look of the car and I like them now.

I can dig up a picture of what it looked like without the stripes if you are interested.

Lance, forgot to post this, but when I was building my 68 I wanted it to look exactly like yours. It ended up looking exactly like the one next to you, lol

That one next to me can spank me on the track every time (he has about 400 hp to my slightly-warmed up 289, plus he's a pretty darned good driver)! Now, to add insult to injury, he's painting it and I'm helping him add the big Maiers' flares (he'll have at least 275 cm of race rubber on the ground!).

Of course, he's a good buddy of mine, so I really don't mind...
