un4givin89,

as usual, you are wrong. smokey was the nickname that was given to the cops(s) that were pursuing the bandit. the bandit was burt reynolds, who ran interference for his truck driving partner, the snowman. hence the title of the movie, smokey and the bandit.

peace,
menace

I got the hood from motion glass performance for around $425, its called a "twin turbo" hood. Its fiberglass and weighs about 35lbs. I was just looking through a "Hot Rod" magazine one day and saw this small ad in the back of the mag. Anyways the company doesn't have a web site, but they do have a catalog for alot of body parts for third gens like hoods, wings, ground effects, wide body kits, they also cater to rustangs (ooops I meant mustangs) and chevy trucks. I'll see if I can find it.
