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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
