The shaker part would not work very well if the scoop was molded to the hood. LOL You could get one with a 6 pack scoop. Try AAR they have good glass parts.

You are not going to get a complete real shaker set-up that's any good for a couple grand...I don't care who you deal with...It's just not going to happen. If you're looking for the fiberglass one piece hoods, I think Penstar Reproductions bought out AAR a few years ago. I seen their stuff at the Mopar Nats and it looks good, but then again it's not going to be "shakin"

GTXperience...What's the deal with Ben? I've dealt with him for years, spent several thousand dollars and never a problem. I buy stuff on a monthly basis with Ben and always seems to be a very good guy to deal with, even returned a defective item and got a full refund.

Don't let one guys bad experience influence your decision. I've had good dealings with people that had bad reputations and bad dealings with people that had good reputations. You have to talk to the people you deal with and keep things straight-up and clear before you exchange money for parts.
