Nice junkyard find and save! My 87 Formula is about on par with yours condition wise. When my hood misbehaves like yours did, I just give it a light hammer fist on the nose and it pops right up.
@Thirdgen83 It was designed for the 301 Turbo V8 that was discontinued right before production began. It looks almost exactly like the unique hood that only came on the 80-81 turbo Trans Ams and Firebirds.
@@331GrabberIt was designed for the '82-84 cowl induction. That hood would never fit on a 2nd generation Firebird, and has nothing to do with turbo chargers.
I love these Firebirds. Glad you are saving her. If you need parts, check out Hawk's third gen.
Third gens dont get the love they deserve! Will do man, thanks!
Nice save hard top too. I have 86 IROC, 86 TA WS6 and a 92 RS.
Sweet! We have a 87 iroc as well with the t tops! I prefer the t tops but these cars are weak as it is... they can definitely use a real roof.

Yeah, its a 2 man job lol. Someone has to take care of these cars! Too much time in the trailer park 😂
Loooooove these cars!
Tons of fun and still accessible to everyone!
@@powertoyz I’ve had one for almost 20 years. It was my first car. Were actually restoring it currently
Awesome man goodluck!
Hardtops are the best.
It's weird how long that turbo hood remained on some TA/Firebirds.
Yeah, in my non biased opinion, i prefer them to the gta hood lol. Wish i had some gold honeycombs with the chrome ring though!
@@powertoyzas a gta owner myself, I do think those hoods look better. I’ve always wondered what it would look like on one lol.
It's not a turbo hood.
