I still have to reinforce the edges of the scoop opening and shape and fill the curves.

There is a-lot of work in those side scoops for $299.00, they are worth it. Im just on a budget and can make things. These scoops wont have lines that flow as well as the fiberglass ones but for the cost I can deal with that.
I did a-lot of searching on how to work with the RRIM material (adhesives) some people said to use Evercoat Vette Panel Adhesive but the Evercoat Fiber Tech had the same rating as the Vette panel adhesive except stronger. I used the 3M 04247 super fast adhesive and its rated for RRIM and cures in 5 or 10 minutes. |

Yeah you don't want to use SMC adhesive/filler on RRIM.
I would suggest adding a small flange to the thin outside edge to give it a more finished look.

I had to do alot of shaping with the epoxy. Now I can fill the minor stuff with filler.
I pulled the defrost cover off an old dash I had that was no good. The honeycomb looks great behind the opening. Maybe i can get them primed this weekend.

That looks great, as does the whole vent. You might want to open it up more in the top, if your screen is long enough.

Hey man that looks really freakin' good. I love home made jobs. I agree with the driver tho that you should cut just a little more opening at the top and it would be perfect. Maybe I need to try something like that on my new 85 GT. Still up in the air about the style of vent I am going with tho I may want the imsa style square vents. Nice work man...peace

Thanks guys for the compliments.
I did open up the top of the openings a little.
I forgot to get some pics of the driver side but it looks good too.
