I started off moulding it in as it is in the first picture with the rear of the scoop dropping down to the hood at a fairly steep angle. I moulded it in and didn't like the look of it - too much like a subura imprezza style scoop. So I filled the gap with expanding foam filler fibreglassed over that and then body fillered over the top.
Then I had some troubles with the high build primer reacting with the undercoat and I had to strip back and start again. Ended up putting down a lot of layers of paint and a lot of sanding. A step by step would have been a 5 volume publiction.

Not my shop though, it's where I work, we make customised wheelchair seating. The first (before) picture is my garage, too small to even get my car in but a good place to work though.
I put the hood back on today and lined it up as best I could the new wings are for a mid 80s chevy and there are slight differences but I'm happy with the way it looks.
