Shaker hood ? Can someone give me a part # of the shaker hood used on the heritage T/A GM made. Is that the same one used on the mid 70's TA? I know most parts were custom made but if someone new of something really close let me know.
I have been wanting to do this for a couple of years now and I think it would look real goo in between my bird.https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/347339-some-cool-f-body-pics.html
Below is a pic of my hood w/ custom bird. I would like to paint the shaker black to match. If someone wanted to photoshop that would be great as well.

Ive read about the heritage trans am and the shaker scoop was custom made. They said the original off of the older bird was either too big or too small and thus looked weird so they had it sized differently to fit the 4th gen. Sorry to say but I doubt you'll be able to find a piece like it unless you also went the custom route
It was to small so they had to make a bigger one.
this place said they are thinking about making one

that one company produces them and theyre like $500. ive only seen it on an lt1 car though i dont know if they make them for ls1. They also make a rare body kit for lt1 firebirds that had air scoops, not really my thing but it was interesting!! i think it was like fiberglassersinc.com or something similar but i know for sure 100% they make one, at least for the lt1 which you could probably modify

Hmm... It's not just a stick on because the hood is flat (aka: it's not a stock Firebird hood which has the indentations)... It obviously is not a true "shaker" hood but it looks to be a one-piece fiberglass hood...
Looks cool nonetheless and could be made functional
