Install a Hoodscoop

Spraying Hood View
Going for the rough and tumble look of a back-alley street racer, we're content to blast everything with a simple coat of flat black. Remember to coat the area that'll be covered by the scoop prior to scoop installation, because access will be nil afterward.
Rivet Tool View
Though nuts and bolts can be used, we chose aluminum 316-inch rivets because they're more sanitary, they won't loosen, and they won't rust if they get wet. Be sure to use flat washers whenever riveting fiberglass. They distribute the pinch load as the rivet is tightened to prevent cracked fiberglass and pull-through.
Rivet Underside Hood View
From the beginning, we knew the rivet gun was too tall to be operated from inside the scoop. All rivets must be applied from beneath, thus the significance of working in harmony with the underhood bracing.
Rambler Front View
Not only will the Rambler benefit from cool, dense intake air, the Hemi Dart scoop transforms the diminutive compact from meek to freak!
