Glasstek
The hood was a PERFECT fit. The shop didnt have to do any work to it at all. It's a bolt on hood.

I got it from Ebay from a seller called ltdfiberglass. She deals directly with Glasstek, orders a lot of hood, and has quicker turn arounds than dealing directly with Glasstek.

I love that damn hood.


Thanks for the compliments guys. It helps me know that all the $$$ I jut spent wasnt a waste! :P

Very nice, original too. I don't believe I've seen a car with quite the same scheme. Can't wait to see some more shots of that thing.

I actually like the color of the stripes. Mostly everyone would have probably went with red, orange, black...but the yellow looks good and it all flows nicely. It's different, it looks good, and that's what counts

Yellow might look good, to me it looked almost like a gold/butterscotch color. I would like to see some outside shots of it.

I got the new Volumax pump in it today, and brought it home. The damn Blue pumps keep dying.

I'll be able to grab some pics from it in the sunlight tomorrow.



BTW... the stripes are YELLOW... like nasty bright bananas. I love it. :P

Sorry for the delay. I've been doing a lot of work to the car lately and havent had time to take pics.

We had the annual Las Vegas F-Body Invasion today. My car won :yay: best 3rd gen. It even beat a 1989 Turbo TA with 3k original miles. That car was CLEAN.

Here's some pics from today...

Since you have blackouts on the taillights you might want to try painting the headlight pockets black. Would help tie things together real well. Otherwise I think it's looking really good.

Oh ya, and new front parking lamps might be needed. (the ones on there right now are suffering from the common condensation build-up)
