Hood and Air Scoop Rivets

[Mike Geddes]

There were some questions a while back regarding the number of rivets
used to hold down an air intake scoop and the number used around the
leading edge of the hood.
At that time I offered that 'Cobra Restorers'in Georgia show 31 rivets around the hood leading edge , can't recall what the count on the air scoop was.( but it was a lot )
I happened to get a look at CSX 3041...( 1965 SC 427 )Guardsman Blue.
It has 26 rivets around the leading edge of the hood and 27 rivets holding down the FG air scoop.
Rivets Anyone.??

Nice one Phil.
You have the 27 holding down the air scoop....and 16 on the hood.
I have 31 on my hood....0 on the scoop till I get one made and cut out the fully molded one.
