Help finding a scoop

I'm starting in on my 1/12 '67 vette pro stock-ish car. I need a decent hood scoop for it though. The kit one's pretty squarish and small looking.

Does anyone make one that I could make work? I don't mind grafting it in. Does the 57 chevy come with a hood scoop? I know the camaro doesn't.

Thanks
Chris

depends on what kind of scoop. Are you looking for a pro stock style scoop, or a taller cowl induction?

Something like this one....

But really, just about anything other than the kit one would be great...it's just too small and square to get the look I want.

Do you know of something available?

Look for Rick Gondeck He has one in resin. He is a great guy to deal with as well and I hear the part is GREAT

I'm checking it out right now. The pic of the scoop he offers isn't up anymore, but I dropped him an email to see if he still offers it and anything else that may be useful to the project.

I emailed Mr. Gondeck about the scoop and I haven't received a reply. It's been several days. Is there a better way to reach him? I used the email address that shows for the decals section. I believe it was rgondeck@ something or other.

Oh well. I decided to use the top mounted blower on the car, so it'll just have the top of the blower and the intake sticking up out of the hood.
