Ya once it's cut/buffed I will take pics with an actual camera... all pics are from my cheap old cell phone.
Not sure I'd want to do another... if I charged someone by the hour, it'd be cheaper to buy an aftermarket hood.
It is a little more rounded than it appeared. The ends in front curve and the outer edges also. I had to do some last min mods to it and it certainly not perfect or exactly the same on both sides, but good enough.

I agree, I think they should have done the hoods this way from the start. The shape of the bumper cover on top was just asking for it. Crappy weather here this week, so cars still put away and all dusty now, so no new pics yet.

Come to think about it, PA its that far away for me to drive up their and see it in person.
After thinking about it, Trans Am Nationals is held in Fairborn, Ohio and if you drive down everybody that owns a Firebird or Formula or Trans Am will get to see it. Just a thought.

I just sold the satellite this past weekend actually... couldn't decide which vehicle to start driving it or the ta. So decision was made for me. Mine was just a 318 auto car. One reason I sold it, too original to modify but too tame to be much fun. I minitubbed/inboard springs, rollbar etc on the 69 belvedere, should be an 11 second street car soon.
