But the only options I wished my 78 Formula featured was a front skirt of sorts and fender vents for heat extraction, and of course the smaller scoops were ramair functional rather than die-cast blanks. The flares are what I still don't care about, on my car anyway. They are one of the All or Nothing options.

While building my custom formula back in the late 70's, I picked up a shaker to cut into the formula hood. I had the hole all taped out, ready to cut....but just couldn't do it. I stepped back, and took a good look at the beauty of the stock formula hood. That made up my mind to put the shaker on the shelf.
I still have the thing sitting there, waiting to come to life one day : )
