Re: Look what I just found!

Are the Pro-Am door decals stock, or something he added?

I own a "pro/am" What specs do you want to know. mainly all it is, is an appearance package, wood panel dash, center consol, pro/am stickers, non funk hood cowl. Some came with the 305, most came with a 4 banger, I've heard the 305 was in the mid 15's in the 1/4 will be testing this when I get new tires (which will be today sometime) let me know if you need to know anything else about the pro/am

How's the underside of the hood?


This is regarding the parts from: http://showcars-bodyparts.com/firebird82up.html


How's the quality? I had one of the first RA2 hoods from USBody source, and the quality was asstastic. Nothing lined up, complete ****.

If possible... looking for an undershot of the hood, and a shot from the windshield out. (viewing back of cowl..)


Anyone have experience dealing with http://showcars-bodyparts.com ??

thats an awesome looking hood, the interior looks wierd with the wood dash kit. it something different thought. i think you should get it up and running and take it to a few shows and educate some people about your pro/am . thanks for the pics

just got back into town, I have better pics of the car, plus plan to make it more than stock. I am willing to get rid of the pro/am package (hood, ground efects, wood interior) since I don't have the number on the dash. if I don't get an offer on the hood I am going to cut it and make it into a functional cowl. I am going to replace almost everything on the car. anything on the car that I am replacing is gonna be up for sale(pretty much everything) if you want a pro/am package, minus the stickers(I should be able to have them made for you) let me know, I'll take a pic and email it to ya

it'll be functional by the middle of next month. I'll take pics and post it here to show yall, I'll most likely pick up some sheet metal and add extra braces where I cut the hood.

they did not change names, they went out of buisness. they did however start a new company, nut do not remember the name of it. honest charlies just has all the tooling for the old choo choo custom conversions.

thanks
