Well, here are pics with the Powerbulge hood,









So, how does it look?

 

Looks good, how come you went this style hood? How about putting the engine in the car...

You get that other T/A?

Dave

 

This helps make it look better... :rockon:

 

sweet! that's my favourite hood for birds

 

Looks good. Reminescent of the 84 TA's.

 

i like that hood A LOT, nice choice!
bub

 

Thanks Guys

I like that pic a lot. Great job.
I was going to attempt one like that, but never got motivated.

Hey Dave,
I went with this style just for the heck of it. I will get a Ram Ain hood when I get the funds, and no, I didn't get that other T/A.
Are you interested in it?

 

Zepher:

What kind of wheels are those? 17x9s?

Thanks

 

Those are OZ Racing Monte Carlos, 17x9.5. They are wrapped with 3 bald BFG G-Force T/A KDW 275/40/17. I've got one nearly new one, so all I have to do is get three, thankfully.
One is actually flat, it's the drivers side rear tire, you can see it in the picture.

 

i liked the last hood way more...

 

The stock one is just too flat. The vents make it look ok, but it needs something in the center to be raised a bit. That is why I want the Ram Air hood.

 

I'm off the topic but Zepher's car sounds mean I love it. Maybe mine will sounds like that after engine swap check my signatyre below. Right now I'm a poor Cajun whose money is funny at the present time.

 

Well, the sound of my car was just a little 305 with the TPI, headers, 3" exhaust, custom Y, and a Crane PowerMax 2050 Cam.
it was this setup,


The LT4 should sound a lot meaner and a lot louder since I have a 3" cutout right before the axle.


I am going to run this crappy Blowmaster exhaust with the cutout open all the time.

 

Gotta love that hood....and it actually looks pretty good with those ground effects.

 

I can see me going to the parts store for parts, people are going to think that I am buying parts for 10 different cars.

 

nice hood and car!!

 

I liked the old hood better, but it doesn't look bad at all. I can't wait for you to finish that car, its gonna be awesome.

 

Gotta agree with everyone.....really nice choice for the hood. Ive always loved that hood. I guess i just like it alot cause noone around has a hood like that.....it was pretty much just on the 3rd gen firebirds. I cant stand the hoods on the mitsubishi's.......the bulge that pops up but doesnt go all the way up the hood......ugly.

 

Hood looks great. Glad you decided to try it out on your car...hopefully you'll keep it.

 

I think it looks decent.....but you're right when you say it needs more. I've always thought the TAs needed something on top of the hood....like the RA.

That powerbulge hood on your car zeph looks like it isn't enough. The rest of the car screams "BADASS CUSTOM"...but that hood mumbles something about "I don't belong here."

 

Looks good. I've always thought that a power bulge hood would look really cool mirrored down the centerline so that there are two bulges, mirror images of each other, with a gap down the center. I'm sure it can be easily done in photoshop, at least much easier than the custom work it would take to make one for real.

 

kinda like this?

and is it just the pic or is that car across the street pink?

 

Exactly like that! I know I'd drive it

 

agreed.

looks cool, i'd like to see someone do that.

 

car across the street is red. Camera does funny stuff with red.
