71 SB Hood Dimensions?
I want to buy the L-88 scoop from Eclkers (49" x 26") and have it glassed onto my SB hood for carb clearance. My questions is, what's the dimensions of my SB hood? Obviously I have the wiper doors and plan to keep it that way, but I want to make sure this scoop will fit on the short style hood (website does not mention either way). My fear is it will be too long and not sit right on the hood or just plain need to be cut to fit. So, how long is my SB hood?
I would go out and measure it, but the car is not at my house. Does anyone know or would someone be willing to get a tape measure out on their short-style SB hood? Thanks guys!

'71 SB hood is 55" long [from center-point at front to center at back end]; it is 41" wide at mid-way from front to back. Behind the hood is the 3" wide vent panel, then the 4.5" wide wiper door.
