bigcarl1 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hood Scoop Fix I had the new scoop put on yesterday by Big Valley Ford in Stockton and they did a very good job it looks great. The new scoop has a pad under it so it can't warp. I'm very happy Thanks SIA. They have a 08 GT500 for $5000 over MSRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcarl1 Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Could you please tell me procedure to have repair done I will wait till spring as my SGT is stored, Is the sccop different did they use rivets, ? Did you or dealer have to contact Shelby and if so who? Any help will avod problems in Spring Thanks worked with John Walker at SAI and Don Adams at BVF. Don Adams who is the Body Shop Manager did the work himself so the work would be done right. I was out looking at Walnut planting for I'm going to plant 100 acres of walnuts next spring when they were puting on the scoop. All don told me was there was a pad under the scoop so it would hold it's forum. It looks very good. I'll take some pic's today and see if I'm smart enough to upload them. They would'nt let me keep the old scoop had to be sent back to SAI. It is riveted on that is why the shop manager did the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoplay Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Glad to hear you are satisfied with the fix! this will make my wife happy knowing,that the rivet fix will work,and looks good. We did look at an 08 SGT over the weekend,and it too had the rivet fix. It looks alot better than the original,and I believe the fix could look perfect,if the person doing the rivets has experience in that area,and avoids over-crimping the plastic. Wondering..... in future...if someone needs to replace stripes,or paint stripes etc..... what's involved with removing riveted scoop,and would a person be better off just painting the stripe,as to not disturb the rivets? Not related but,what's involved with doing it on a Saleen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattInDetroit Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 John-can I get the pad from SAI that is being used now? I am reattaching my scoop. It is my understanding that the scoops are physically different on the underside to accomodate the pad. You will need a new scoop to use the pad.

sdear Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I am very excited to get mine put on next week sometime. My mechanic (at Ford) , is going to do the work himself. They don't have a body shop, but he does alot of rivet work on "side jobs" , and is completely comfortable doing this job. I trust him. It would have been on by now, but his mother in law was ill and he had to go up north for a few weeks. Hood scoop is here and ready to go ! Glad it all worked out for you !!!! And thanks John !!!
