Here's a picture of the Goldenrods bottom, the record setting air scoops, & the finished car before it was sent to the Ford Museum. Note the scoops used in on the finished car are the ones used in most photos.
Thanks for the pictures Mike. I was just reading Hot Rod this morning and saw the picture of the liner in the museum finished. Very nice. I see were they are also going to have a more in depth article in the future.
In the middle picture the scoop that is shown has a horizontal splitter in the middle of it. Was that to divert air to two separate engines (2 scoops/4 engines)
Guys I'm a little confused as to which scoops were actually used for the record at this point. I assume they are the ones in.....
....... Mike's middle picture (above) and......
......... not the bottom picture (shown above)?? I messed with this picture a little trying to look inside the scoop and there appears to me to maybe be a vertical splitter used on this scoop configuration??
Were the cutouts in the body for the scoops in this picture meant to work with either of the ones above or did they just materialize??? They don't seem to fit the base of the scoop with the horizontal splitter in the first picture above.
How long was this car anyway???
c ya,
