Interesting, is the Trans-Am shaker scoop functional? Nice to see another 78-80 Cutlass getting some love, nice work!

Looking good!

But ready for spring? That was a long time ago - been 90 degrees here for a couple months now.

Looks great, really like that hood scoop. Currently trying to snow in Melville, Saskatchewan today. We won't be double digits till the end of next week.
