Someone needs to write the program and start producing steel hood scoops. You need to figure out how much to leave on the front edge to form it like the original - the machine can't do that step.

Game changer.

That is one impressive piece of equipment.  Unfortunately, the machines have arrived but visionaries have disappeared.  They are scarce in the current generation of youth.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

I thought someone already had. Someone came out with the hood scoop for a 66 steel hood that was on the money. I can't remember who it was but I think it was a big outfit like Scott Drake. Oh course if it was then that would have been stopped after Holley bought them ,like so many other lower volume skews .I'll have to call a friend (not today Christmas) who used a few of the scoops to make 66 hoods.

Game changer referenced the ability to do metal shaping that is passable. We did a sprint car body a few years back and the customer gave up and sold the car before we could get the guy to finish the body. Two and a half years for 3/4 of the body. And we did the louvers!
