I just replaced my light bulbs in my '69s hood scoop today. It was a pain in the Azz because the guy that owned my '69 before me had the cut out holes so damm small there was no way to even get the old #1895 bulbs out without breaking them. Even brand new #1895 bulbs could not fit back in, how this guy installed those bulbs I'll never know ! I had to cross reference different bulbs and I found slimmer and bighter #1893 bulbs and use duct tape inside and around the cut out to hold them in place. It looks pretty good too believe it or not lol lol. As and added bonus,the next time I need to change bulbs it will be easy as heck, Unlike the absurd amount of time it took to remove the old bulbs.

@@thelemonademan6235 Sounds to me like somebody bolted a scoop onto a plain hood. There are rectangular cutouts with rounded ends underneath each signal lamp for access. Templates are all over eBay if you want to see an example of the cutouts

@@ryanmuir6338 as far as I can tell the rectangular cut outs are there, it's just a damm finger width hole under that blinker box that's the damm issue, not enough room to be honest for #1895 bulb get thru. I went with smaller bulbs, #1893, which are smaller an brighter.

@@thelemonademan6235 Oh ok, I swapped out that type hood for a shaker setup years ago, but from what I remember the lamp assemblies attached with Phillips screws were supposed to be unscrewed and brought down through the slots to change bulbs

@@ryanmuir6338 yea , the shakers the best set up. There were no Phillips head screws or any regular screws at all holding the light assemblies in place, they were literally just wedged in there super tight, with half of the wire assemblies rim in the small approximately 1/3" hole, and the other half of the rim outside the hole. I have no idea not only how the previous owner even got the bulbs into that opening let alone how the hell he got them in there so tight. All I did was use smaller bulbs #1893 and create a shroud of duct tape around the rim, then I ran a 6"peice of Duct tape down the hood and onto the front face of the bulb assemblies, then used another peice of Duct tape to wrap the base. No way am I breaking a drill out just for a set of 5 dollar bulbs. To be honest those light bulbs are in there solid and are not going anywhere, and like I said earlier, when they eventually blow out, the replacement next time will be so easy.

They are sweet rides

Thanks!

That's literally how this car started out. It was white interior and under the red was green paint

Figuratively and Literally just a "California Special"

@@nintony2994 it’s also technically a Australian special. Because the first owner was an Australian who had it shipped to Australia and then my uncle bought it and shipped it to America. The Mustangs breaks went out and it crashed in a field where my uncle left it. Then my Grandfather and other Uncle restored it. Then it was left in a shed for a LONG time. And now I’m fixing it.

@@Dudeneedsacar Thats quite a story. hope the restoration goes over successfully. especially for a spectacular car like this

I believe we purchased through cj pony parts

A turn key restomod would be in the $150k-$250k

It was a combination of two air cleaners I believe. We got them from summit racing

@@gregsrestorations7019 thank you! I know I’m super late to reply but I got caught up at school but I’m slowly fixing it on my off time.
