In need of a firebird hood!

I bought my 1984 firebird off my friend, knowing she wanted her 2" cowl bolt on hood back...so, now im currently hoodless. Does anyone on here live in the greater philadelphia area have a 3rd gen firebird hood laying around? i'd like to get another 2" cowl...it completed to look so nicely...but i'll take anything. I'm tired of having a blanket over my engine.

Anyone know of any good junkyards in the philly area as well? i know there's TONS! but which ones do you reccomend?

there she is in the showroom (excuse the craptastic qaulity, it was the dealerships picture taken from the internet)


and there she is in my driveway.

some A-hole decided to hog the street today, and didnt move over enough (we have narrow streets where i live, and people park on both sides b/c their dumb) and his mirror clipped mine...i turned around and sped after him, but he turned somewhere and i couldnt find him...oh well. he only put a scuff mark on it...and its a little wiggly...but other then that, no damage...my friend looked back and saw his and said it was effed up...so my beast wins again lol.

yea, shes my baby. im currently working on restoring a '84 firebird. And in the process of saving up for a '88 camaro, and a '87 jeep wrangler (which is going to become my winter driver, since f-bodies suck in the snow). I plan to put a lift on the jeep, once i reinforce the frame, and go off roading

i also have a POS 89 dodge colt 4 speed in oregon...we live on a gravel road, so once i master driving stick, im gonna have fun beating that...

so im 17, with 3 cars...possibly/hopefully 2 more on the way lol. its an addiction, and a painfully expensive one.

Yah I read that.. right up the street. I'd say go for that then. Red wouldn't look horrible on it I guess we can pick it up in the Dakota.. or throw it on the roof of Jeepy? LOL.

Hahah okay sounds good. Whatever you need help with let me know. I don't mind taking a look at it today after work? We can get a list together of stuff that you want and need.. and maybe start work on it a little before you leave. At least by the time you get back we'll have a good idea of what to do and what is most important to you. I'll get that list of parts together for the "project" with it as well .. don't want to give away any hints of anything on here

you better not be touching my car parts wise while in away in oregon...i must be present at all times whenever a wrench/screw driver/ etc goes near my car...lol.

dont try and suprise me with a brand new 350 and a 700r4 or something...anything like that...i wanna be around for the installation of everything.

otherwise someone will get hurt if they touch my baby lol.

dude, ask maureen how much i was flipping out when that A-hole hit my side view mirror today....i freaked out and turned around and sped after him, but i already lost him....****ing *******...i had like 2" between me and the parked cars, he had like...2 feet...or so. grrrr!!! i hate idiots! he was driving down the middle of the street then he saw me and swerved to his side of the road...but obviously not enough...he made me soooooo mad!
