The boss 429 mustang scoop is very similar to that ,just a little higher and a point on the front.. I got the 429 Boss one from Mustang auto parts and is very nice finish.. Maybe with a little work would be very close to one pictured .

I was thinking the same thing until I saw the pictures of both. The Eliminator Scoop doesn't have the point a the front.

I can't offer much more info that whats already been posted, but I must say good luck with doing up an Eliminator.

I love the Ford offshoot hipo cars, The Cyclone Spoiler, Talladega and Eliminator would have to be the most unique Ford US cars in this country... I saw a Cyclone Spoiler at a swap meet years ago... IIRC it was for sale too, i might be able to dig up a pic...
