A&A Grump Lump Scoop

[whitetop]

Brent396:

Part # 15633, 7" tall, 14" wide at the front near the base and 33" long from the front lower base to the rear part of the scoop that sticks out the furthest +/- 1/4"-it was hard to get an exact measurement unless I dropped a plumb bob .

I think A&A measured from outer flange to flange on the width i.e. 16 1/2" wide and 34 1/2" long that took in consideration the front flange

Scoop has the small oval shaped A&A decal underneath(covered in paint)

One of my clients was a fiberglasser back in the 70's. Made anything from dune buggies for Meyers(still has the molds), boats, fiberglass for appliances,display cabinets for retail and industrial applications etc.

He said he would make a mold from mine and make copies but I hate to remove mine from the hood. I was hoping to find another and hang the painted up for display. My scoop also needs some work before a mold is made from it. The scoop has drooped on top maybe 1/4&quot; from age and on one side it has sucked in slightly.

I'm sure we weren't the only ones. Should be interesting to see how it works out.

I remember that scoop now. That was a Manufacturers Associate/ Fastglass /Legendary Fiberglass out of Warrington PA. Rare scoop.

That is the exact scoop Joel Rosen used on at least 3 cars as Joel bought his fiberglass from that company.

That grump lump style scoop has a peculiar shape to it so it was easy to identify.

When I bought my Vega hood from Joel it came from Legendary and when talking with Larry the owner he mentioned he did a lot of Joels fiberglass since the very early 70's. Sadly all the old molds are gone from repeated moves/buyouts. Larry told me he remembers taking a lot of molds to a landfill in the 80's or cutting them up and putting themin the trash because no on wanted those old fashioned scoops anymore and he got tired of stepping over them.

Joel put that scoop you have on a 396 tunnel rammed 69 Chevelle and a early 70's sb Nova that i recall right off the bat but I remember it on a 69 Motion camaro.

Spoke with Larry plenty of times. He could be a bit slippery at times, but I liked the guy. He sold the busines to a fellow who goes by Fiber Concepts, but I'm not sure how long they'll be around. Lots of old stuff gone, unfortunately Larry is too.

All the locations they were at were right around where I grew up and live. Would be cool to have some local product. Not A&amp;A, but still cool to me.

Fastglas had the coolest literature. When I get home, I'll dig some out. Pretty sure tbhey spelled it with 1 S at the end.
