~~~Did a search but~~~
I did not find the info I was wanting. I am wanting to replace the Formula hood that is on my car for a 69 T/A hood. I (well my body man) was NHOT happy with the VFN hood that is on the car right now. I see that some have used Glasstek, but I am wanting a quality piece. what do ya'll recommend?
thanx, Steve T.

Yet to see a 1st gen glass hood that is straight or have same dimensions as originals.
There was a guy here that made a carbon fiber from an original about a year or so ago. Dont remember who, but looked awlsome. Did alot of other stuff too. A seacrh for cabon fiber 69 TA hood may find it.

Unlike most posters who know everthing there is to know about every car ever made, I don't know everthing there is to know about Firebirds, let alone every car ever made. So forgive me if I'm wrong.
If you have a first generation Firebird, I didn't know that they offered it as a Formula. If it's a second, or newer, generation Firebird, I didn't know that 69 ta hood would fit a second, or later, generation car. If you hare harvesting your information from your bodyman, he . . . . Well, it's time for me to bail. |

Think'g he means a "400" hood vs a "TA" hood.
John Haley is the guys name. Been longer then realized. He did had a TA hood for sale while back. Hears the original thread. Looks like awesome work. http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=591863

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.
