Fabricating and
installing Side
Scoops
I
wanted to add some
side scoops and I
liked the look of
the 1994 to 1998
Ford Mustang scoop.
I bought the right
and left sheet metal
scoops off of EBAY.
Above: I
cut the fiberglass
quarter panel off my
donor car using a Skill
saw and a Sawzall. I
then marked out a grid
on both the right and
left quarter panels.
Using the scoop I marked
where I wanted my scoops
to be.
Above: I
cut the scoop shape out
of the fiberglass panel.
Above: I
used a router to make
the sheet metal scoop
flush with the
fiberglass panel. Then I
used resin to glue the
sheet metal to the panel
using several clamps and
weights to make it
flush.
Above: I
used corrugated
cardboard on the back of
the panel and then I
poured two part
polyurethane expanding
foam into the cavity.
When the foam hardened I
used a regular hand saw
to cut of the excess
foam making it flush
with the panel.
Above:
Using 60 grit sandpaper
I sculpted the foam into
a dish shape that would
follow the contour of
the metal scoop and
gradually feather into
the fiberglass body.
After that I used body
filler around the metal
scoop and sanded it
smooth.
Above: I
then mixed up a batch of
black pigmented resin
with fiberglass cloth
cut into 1/8” pieces and
coated the Polyurethane
foam with the mixture.
