Getting all the parts to install the N96 air grabber parts to my hood. Have the air cleaner in from ordering it. Now it is like the holy grail to find the parts for the hood. I have one located and it is being shipped and sit down the price is not cheap. Doing this because the more you have the more points when the judges come to your car. If you are not sitting down, then here is the price close to what I will have spent to do this in the range of four grand. OUCH!!!!!!!!
 
I have to restore mine. Its not real bad just needs clean up. I bought extra outer sections in San Diego a few years ago and they are in the exact condition my originals are. My brother accidently found them for me and I don't remember what I paid but they weren't cheap.
 
Hey Russ, hope you're doing well. I see them all the time at Carlisle. Mike and I are going again this year. If you haven't found everything you need by then I can look for you.

Have mine all set to go. I sent it to a gentleman in Ohio I believe. He totally reman'd it and it is absolutely beautiful. If your interested I'll dig up his contact. It was $1K for the old one, and about the same $1K to reman plus decals paint and filter. I haven't bought the filter yet, but it looks like close to $200 just for that. I bought the install kit from Classic ind., rivets and screws, and the rubber skirt, along with the cable.
 
Ok so my call outs on the hood have the metal blanks in them. Can I take those out and install the air grabber screen. Or am I missing something here.
 
Those blanks should be mounted on the car just as the screen is. There's a few small screws and retainers that you remove and put back. I'll go look again, but I'm pretty sure
 
Russ Jenkins here in Michigan is the premier rebuilder for all things under the air grabber hood. As you’ve found out, this is not a cheap endeavor.
 
So, it is getting in depth. I have open space behind the call outs where the fresh air should go to the air grabber. This hood is a 68 hood due to the 69 latch and catch was in the wrong places. After looking it is wide open to the fresh air hook up box. When measuring the hole opening it is smaller than the air box wing. Is this normal or am I missing something. Well, hate to ask so many questions but you guy's where a lot of help when restoring the old bird. Thanks Russ. Ps any tips would be appreciated.
