I've been going through all my old van magazines and they are stirring up some old desires! I'm thinking about doing a 2nd bonnet with a moulded-in L-88 scoop. Are they still being made by someone locally (Australia)?

Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
If not you'll be able to find one in the USA.
They were available at the Toowoomba Swap in February. A local Brisbane company was making them . . I almost bought one for nostalgic purposes.
They were on the north side of Brisbane - if I can get the name I will post it up.
I didn't know what an L-88 scoop was so i google'd it and found this.L-88 Scoop on van.jpg
Well that didn't come up as good as I wanted but you can find it via Google

L88 is the engine option code for 430 odd hp 427ci single 4BBL high performance big block Chev engine for 1967-1969.
they do look pretty cool are they legal?
I'm sure they are, but I really don't care. They are one of the coolest looking scoops ever in my opinion and used to be really common back in the 70's. Now they are rare they should stand out even more.
And they suit the shape of a HJ-WB bonnet like they were made for it.

if i was to put another scoop on any of my cars thats what id be using my van used to have a hornet scoop but its a bit boring, i never knew what they were called until you started this thread
Every 2nd van had one back in the late 70's. I wish I'd bought a dozen and kept them until now.....

Good news!
Rusty (on Majestic Vanners) makes them. I've contacted him and awaiting a price.
