Post pics of your "power bulge" hoods

I am sure there are several pictures out there through a search, but most of what I am finding are ram air I and II's. I am wonding if any of you have the Formula hood on a TA, etc. Without readers rides I can't find many. So please, post your pics!!!

Here is my '84 T/A with its factory bulge hood(old ### picture from 1998!)

It should be easy to find a budge hood in the junkyard here in Wisconsin. There are still quite a few 3rd-gens still in the yards.

roadthrills, is that a poor '83 Daytona T/A rotting in the background?

Yes, it is. And yes, it's a hardtop. Do a search and you'll find more pics of it. It was an Illinois car and has MAJOR rust issues. I need to find a good hardtop body near me.
