MOD NOTE: This post and the following were split from another thread on a different subject.

thanks for the input, i will give that a try,,,,,,yes that helps!!!

any ideas on mounting the side scoops,

the clips you get just dint look right and i have not found any pics or info on mounting them

Sportsroof or convertible?

Thinking that you may be referring to a sportroof/fastback since you mentioned clips. Here is a couple of examples

Looks like there might need to be some modification to the scoops to get them to fit a 1970 quarter.

i have seen a few previous posts on this but nothing that really to address the side Scoops to the quarter panel, i have the clips and have seen a pic with them fiberglass in, but it doesn't look right, any info or pics would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Guess we'll ask again. What body type (scoops are different) is your car?

Do you already have scoops? And if so are they originals or something else?

mine is a sports roof, i see the clips mounted in previous pics but what are they attaching to on the inside of scoop, i have a original scoop and one re pop scoop

Is the car you have a 69 or 70?

It looks like the scoop is set up to partially sit inside the factory 69 opening. The 70 doesn't have that. I saw some scoops at CJPony Parts that attach differently but can be used on either year.

It doesn't matter if it is a 69 or 70 they were all built as 69's...

It does if you are building a clone

The clips slide into back of the side scoop then the front edge is retained with two screws keeping the whole assembly in place. Your scoop or scoops may be missing the brackets the clips slide into




As an extra details the edge of the scoop to body joint was sealed with a small amount of chalking

Bingo!!!
I already put new 69 full quarter panels on my build. I have never seen those brackets that the clips slide into before, all makes sense now! All i need to do now is source those clips!!! Branda does not show them, just the clips that screw into the quarter panel. Any ideas?
