speaking of Ponch's T/A (and i'm guessing the reason they painted the grills gold is the studio did a cheapo paintjob on it)
i found this pic of another early 70s Firebird at the T/A national which has the same hood. I think a company made them custom back in the 70s. the shaker is attached to the hood and the cars had normal firebird air cleaners. *edit* apparently thats how the one on Ponch's car was but this one has the shaker actually mounted on the intake

my vote is sleek beak or raptor, everything else is just waaay to much stuff going on.
i do appreciate the creativity that goes into all the different setups

I followed suit with the Heritage trans-am concept and liked Raleigh's TA...so i got ambicious...and had to deal with the lower strut tower brace problem...after LOTS of time of brainstorming and measuring and using what i had to work with i have a functional prototype...please forgive the dryer ductwork and painters tape...this pic was B4 i got everything mounted to the motor...i need to find someone to make more permanent duct work.

i just uploaded some more pics to my garage album..here are a couple more angles from late last summer..again...all the heating duct work is being used to get a good pattern and design down for the final box and duct work.
this is what i started with just to figure out some duct lengths...
from passenger side...
..
..from drivers side....i left about 3/4 of and inch between bottom of air box and strut bar to allow for "shake"...and for weather strip on the scoop once its done as well.
