Formula got a new hood
 

Some of you will like it others will hate it .

Couldn’t pass it up since it matched the color of my car.

I had planned on putting on a Trans Am hood so I could run a RPM intake to see if you could get in the 11’s

I did not butcher this formula hood it was done at least 15 or 20 years ago per the guy I got it from. He bought it that way with a 75 Trans Am.

My formula hood is currently stashed away and someday will return to the car.

Here’s a few pictures with two different Shakers on it. Need to paint one of them to match the rest of the car.

I like it,,especially if the shaker is painted the same red color.

I love it. I would have a red and black shaker for it

Poncharello Edition

I always thought the Formula hoods with a shaker was kinda cool looking. I wouldn't cut an original hood to do it, but if I found one already cut like you did I have no issues what so ever!

Maybe dual hood tachs too?
Or just " Ram Air Everywhere" ?
Not my cup of tea..... but you only have to please yourself.

Sort of like Corvette Summer. Miss my bell bottoms.

Nice. Throw a couple spoilers out back and a front air dam or two and she will scream performance!
Very 70’s esq.

I like the silver shaker!!!
Thinking of painting one of mine red, for my black TA....

Works for me...I agree, I would not cut a hood to do it, but since it's already done it, it works!!!

I like the silver shaker too, it goes well with the grilles.

I think it was a brown bird wasn't it? Ponch bought the car with the cash in his and his patrol partner's wallet. The owner was on the roof pouring gas all over the car to burn it up. I don't remember why but I was mortified as a teenager. The car ended up on it's roof in another episode at the hands of a car theif.

Ponch’s car looks like it was a TransAm

What about the Formula front fender "vents" I see there? It would be weird to make a T/A into a TA/formula hood and add that specific thing. Unless they wanted to put just as many scoops and vents as possible.

Didn’t notice it here’s a better picture of the side it looks like it has some type of side pipes on it to

OH, Dual Hood tach housings is a MUST!!

whatever became of the CHiPs car?

It's in the Museum of Vents, Scoops, Flares, Spoilers and Other Random Body Effects.

Nice find Gary . I don’t mind it actually and I also like the silver.

Looks good Ponch! .... errr... I mean Gary!

Pretty good color match!

Kind of reminds me of the trunk lid I found on the side of the road that matches the paint on my TA- only I never got up the nerve to bolt it on!

I wouldn't have done it to my 79 Formula. The dual intakes for the Formula and the shaker hood scoop for the TAs are what made each it's own standout model Firebird.

It just doesn't look right to me with the two together on the same hood.
