Scoop looks sweet. Timeless classic

[69 Elim]

How big is that scoop? For single carb or dual carbs? Looks bitchen. How much $$ (ball park).

Tear Drop scoop will fit on dual or single carb set-ups.My Dad has one on his blown 392 Hemi/66 Hallet wood decker-looks great and a friend has one on a single carb big block/Sanger combo which also looks good. The bottom of the scoop is open with flange so aluminum adapter plate is left up to the individual as there so many different set ups. Scoops go for $100 U.S. plus shipping- in epoxy primer with seam filled. Custom paint work is available but extra. I also have several different models of glass scoops available.

How much for the buckets and are they the big or small one's???

[69 Elim]

I would love to see one of those on top of a tunnel ram with 2 fours. Then I just might be ordering one - hehe. Can a flame arrester fit inside?

The scoop looks awesome on a tunnel ram set-up.I don't have any pics of that set-up, but I'll try to post some pics of a dual carb blower set-up this week. Low profile arrestors will fit.

What do the seats measure across ??

[coolchange]

$200 a pair for shells? Geez are people actually paying this much for those? $430 for polsterd doesn't seem to bad.

$200/pair isn't bad when they are delivered as promised. If you can get them for cheaper go for it but don't snivel when they don't show up because the so-called 'supplier' flaked on you. Restofreak is good for his word, he delivers as per the agreement.

058 -thanks for the defense you hit the nail on the head.
Not to start a flame war but I'm gonna clear the air for those that think $200 is pricey.Ever seen a pair of buckets made of matt only ,so that one day you go to take the covers off and the snaps pull the rivets through the laminate? Seen a pair of buckets with only one layer of gel so that after a couple of months in the sun the laminate pattern prints through? Seen a pair of buckets with no wood core for the seat base? Seen a pair of buckets with no re-enforcement in the ribs in a boat with horsepower that needs to get on the down pedal hard out of the hole, only to have the seats buckle and eventually crack the gel? I have and lots of them.
My seats have the following:
1)2 layers of tooling gel not GP gel
2)Laminate includes roving and biaxial fabric and tooling resin not GP
3)Sandwiched wood core for the seat base
4)Re-enforced rib area
5)Epoxy primed and painted in any polyurethane colour choice
You get what you pay for. Nuff said.

Hey if you can get it more power to ya. Never had a seat crack, break, chip or what ever. WHen I heard Cole was looking for someone to make flat buckets for him cause his trim shop couldn't get it right I took him one that was tweed, double stitched pleats(not top sewn) mh70 foam, double thick bands(tweed backed with vinyl)and told him $200 at his door he fricken flipped out. For a flat bucket? he says. Go ahead and say its because they were junk, but I'll put my seats against ANYBODIES. Not trying to continue a flame war and like I said, If you can get it more power to you!

It just clicked in- and painted in any poly color? Hell out here you can't even buy the paint for that amount. Now I think your not charging enough!
