    66 hood + shelby scoop mounting suggestion

    Hello all , 
    with lucky i have found one good standing hood for my 66 to be used for my shelby hood project. 
    I am asking some tips about fixing the scoop .  Weld or glue ?  
    I have used this special glue for metal in past and believe me is strong like a welded point. 
    This is the regular glue used in modern process of building cars.

    Another ask is about the scoop lip . 
     the scoop lip  just lay on hood  , thereafter i need to bondo the junction all around  , correct ? 

    Some other things that i could have forget in this project ??  
    tips welcome !

    Avoid using filler (Bondo) on a hood as much as possible.  Hoods flex a lot, and filler will crack and fail eventually.  If the scoop is metal and the hood is metal I would weld it, smooth the weld, and use as little filler as possible.  The best would be to finish the metal good enough to fill any imperfections with a couple of coats of high build primer prior to block sanding and paint.
