Best Repro Boss 9 Scoop? Flapper option?

[69Boss 0]

I'm working on a 69 Boss tribute of sorts.  It will have stack injection so the round underside of a genuine or 100% accurate boss 9 scoop might not be of benefit in my situation as it might cover some of the stacks, but I'd love to have the flapper in it.

 

I seem to see 3 basic types of these scoops and hoping someone here might know which is best.  (If you know where I can get one like type 3 below, please hit me up.)

 

Type 1 - Bolts mounting into scoop is thinner:

Type 2 - More fiberglass around where bolts mount to scoop:

Type 3 - I can't find any of these for sale but they were accurate repros made, complete with lower half and flappers and cable to adjust it.

This one for sale comes with a chin spoler and misc items but the price is too high for me.  If I could find one of these at a lower price, it would be ideal.

Maybe we can team up!  I am looking for the same - a functional Boss 429 hood scoop - for my Boss 429 Convertible project.

I've had an e-mail exchange on e-bay with the sellers.  Just my opinion, but I would not do business with them under any circumstance.  Rude, arrogant and crude in their replies.

That said, I have learned of a fellow who has made reproduction units (and I suspect the one on e-bay IS one of those units) from a fellow named Tommy White.  I've contacted him and he does not have any in stock but might be willing to commission another batch if there was sufficient interest.

Any idea what Tommy's price point would be for those?

He mentioned $1500 per unit for is last batch.  Said prices could go up if his fiberglass guy increases his price.

I'm 99% certain the unit in the e-bay ad you linked to is a Tommy White piece though they certainly won't tell you that.

Ouch, thanks!

I was supposed to start making them but the price for an original ,making the molds and the very big increase in fiberglass supplies and lack of time to do everything made me change my mind
