How cool is this!!

Postby NixVegaGT » Fri Jul 11, 2008 11:11 am

This is a guy from Quebec. I think he cut the scoops out of a '68-'69 Firebird 400 and welded them in. I LOVE this idea. WOW!

It does look great. Now if I could find that old GTO hood I have lying around. :? But seriously, how cool would that hood look on a an early Canadian Astre?

Realy looks Different, And is Functional to boot,
The Split Nose Pontiac Coupe,and Astre would also benefit

,Turn them arround and Mount on the Front Fender's Sides just past the drop in the wheel well curve.

I need to learn to weld sheetmetal like that !!
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

I got a hood like that for a swap meet a fews ago. Brother-in-law wigged out when I cut it right down the middle in the parkin lot. :lol:

I just wanted the scoops.






Don't you wig out too..it was a aftermarket copy.
