Congradulations, the car looks great. Not only did you do an amazing job restoring it, but I finally get to see a pic of a GTA with a Ram Air I hood....very nice!!

thanks guys. I'm about to go junkyard hunting for an air filtration setup for it - turns out my homemade CAI won't fit with the Serpentine setup as it stands. Gotta find a stock setup off an 88-89 so I can atleast drive it around. Car sure sounds mean with no air filter though

And btw...the car spent 10 hours on the frame puller.

I'm still finding it hard to believe that you decided to save it. Somehow you manged to get that hood I don't like on 85-90s to look good to me. Good job.

Congrats man... that was pretty sad when you posted the destruction. I always said that I didn't like that hood but it sure does look good there - think you have changed my mind on that one.

Have fun with her.
