Christmas for the AMX...

[unstable bob gable]

I decided to buy the AMX a new hood for Christmas. I kinda got sick of having the Phord style scoop, as it messes with the factory "Trans Am" look. So, I bought a VFN stock style AMX cowl induction hood. I figure I can sell the old hood for a few bux, I'll get the look I want, and I will have functional cowl induction. So, itz a win-win-win situation. :)

Sounds cool. You got a pic or a link or something?

VFN doesn't have any picts of it on their webby, but it is the same style hood as on this Trans Am racer:

Nice. What wheels are on your car? Those minilites (I think) look great - so Trans Am.

UBG has I believe 18" Torque Thrust D's...only reason I know is that Bob has a good taste in wheels, since I know of an Orange 64 Fairlane that has the same wheels :nod:

panasports ftw :drool: i like the new hood bob. can't wait to see it

[JL8Jeff]

Panasports? Blah, real Minilites are the only way to go! :wink:

But UB, why would you want to take that Ford hood off your Mustang? :lol:

The bobmobile looks cool with those rims.

new hood will be an improvement, I believe.

The reason I had the Phord scoop on the car is that back in the 90's I got drunk one weekend, and decided I needed a velocity stack coming through the hood. So, I cut a hole and added the stack. I later grew tired of that look, and a buddy of mine gave me the Phord scoop. Sooooooo, I took care of my "holey" problem by adding the Phord scoop. The scoop doesn't look "bad," but I always thought it took away from the "factory" Trans Am racer look. So, I finally decided to do something about it. And I will also be changing up my paint scheme a bit when I add the new hood. 8-)

Yeah, the Mustang AMX was a model that never made production. 3 prototypes were build, but the car quickly got a repution as a "widow maker," because it was so hard to handle that much power. 1 of the prototypes crashed and was destroyed during testing at the Goodyear test track, the 2nd one was crushed, and the 3rd one was "snuck out the back door," and I later purchased it.
THE END :mrgreen:
