You readers are probably due for another shot of shiny from the archives but man I am and have been fairly busy. Patience. I did finally see the perfect condition stock TA steering wheel go on it today but no snappage.
Hey Bill... now when I say functional, on a Trans Am I mean draws engine intake air through the scoop opening. But if I were talking about a 70-2 Chevelle Super Sport WITH optional cowl induction having a functional scoop for example, it would mean that the flap actually opens when you stomp it as intended (to give the engine fresh air). This is a cool place where you might enjoy dipping a toe in the retro pond (see link). Mechanical gizmos galore on some of that muscle-era stuff. Things that work after an EMP goes off.

How about a different area of the Trans Am entirely? Working the front flares to fit the modified fenders now, snapped a couple useless pics but thought somebody might get a laugh out of the screw. I said screw it ha ha! Used a screw to hold this flare together while I glassed the backside. Another tech had done some work here and chopped it in two which I prefer not to do. But the tweaks needed were major and that was the second cut anyhow. I had done the first. Crazy, but for the most part all the guys are good enough we can toss jobs back and forth without losing ground. Fiberglass is fun until the sanding part, ugh. Bottom pic is like 2nd or 3rd round with the glass, grind to shape, repeat drill. Next I'll address the ends where they meet the air dam. Quite time consuming work.
