Is the hood scoop functional? Is it open in the back by the windshield? Where did you get it or did someone make it for you? This might solve a futue problem for me if it's functional.

Thanks

Hood is non-functional, so far.

But look at the great photography, that guy is a natural.

The plan is to make the hood scoop functional, because I will need the clearance. It would also be useful to open it in the back for the hot air to escape.

forgot to mention that these scoops are available for the muscle cars in many catalogs. Do a search on eBay or if you don't find them I can point you to some I ran across, like for example http://www.advantagefiberglass.net/

It was supposedly built by Eric Munk, for a football player or something.

He had a writeup about it on his website.

I have a few other pics of the car on my website.



It's looking a lot nicer now, with those wheels, a good waxing, etc...

BC;

Different car. Tarek can offer more details but there were 4 built (Tareks has the rsc script on the rear cover). One was wrecked/totalled and I've seen a white one.
I believe the molds are still out there.

Bcdavis,

I'm still trying to find the owner of that car in the pic. Mine is a sister to it, with some differences. Note the front spoiler lights and the rear spoiler brake lights. Mine doesn't have those, but has exhaust going through the middle of the rear...and as you mentioned, new, bigger wheels and tires. Mine will soon also lose all mirrors. I'm well underway with a good rear view mirror setup...and many other mods in process or coming soon.

Thanks for posting

best handling 928s do not have the rear end pins.
Have to disagree.
Pinned and like it!
Don't do it on a street car.

You say that the molds are still available. Who has them? What is Eric Munk's web site.

I love that car Tarek. Bring it so Sebring.

If I'm not mistaken, the hood/windshield juncture is a HIGH pressure zone at speed. So the hood scoop will only vent out hot air when sitting at a traffic jam.
Good place to mount some LED warning lights/gauges too like them
1970's muscle cars. Just in case the A-pillar runs out of room for
A/F, oil temp etc.

Hey. Where's the pics with the bikini clad babe draped all over the
Batmobile/Darth Vader mobile.

Eric Munck made a few interesting 928s, but was also somewhat of a fraud.

http://members.aol.com/Musttanguy/horses7.html

If you search the archives, you will find some huge threads discussing his
questionable business practices. The real question is if he actually made the car,
and if so, how many did he make? He said he only made one.
But he could have just stolen the pictuires for his website.
But because I had never seen the car, before seeing it on
his site, I think he may indeed have made the car. So then
the question still remains... Is it the only one, or did he make
a few?

He also built this car:

http://www.bavarianrocketscience.com/POTM/0101.htm

So he has the skills to build the car.
I'm guessing he has the molds.
But I would not give him any money for a body kit or anything.
