Looks great!
Did you save much in weight over the steel hood? I took my stock hood off a few weeks ago and I didn't think it was very heavy. Where is the best place to trim weight from these cars? Hood, bumpers, deck lid? 535 with canted heads.....Sounds like fun. I might buy a set of those canted heads too if they become available before my crankshaft arrives.

I would have kept the stock hood but thought it was choking my carb with only an inch or two of clearence. I have heard the doors are heavy, but don't have the heart to change them, to me that really takes away from a streetable image. I also put a rack on the front, between it and the hood I am hopeing for -125 Lbs. John

without a doubt.....doors. when you take items like fenders off sometimes you're surprised to find out that they're actually pretty light. You take a door off and you'll need help. You could leave the stock hood and fenders on but take off the bumper, doors and windshield and lose a lot.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
