Mark,

I am not positive but I think A&A Fiberglass was a source for those hoods. I know they also made many pieces for some of the Trans Am supercars too. Anyone else have a clue? - Jon

Someone said they didn't like the tail on one post or had some negative comment but I think it looks very cool.The hood and tail sure sets it apart from others.Looks like one MEAN MUTHA coming or going down the road I bet.I bet you don't have too much trouble selling it,What happened to Viperich he was looking for a nice Super Car,this should fill his needs,I bet it will give his Viper a run for the money!!

Give me a break, a stock Viper isn't even in the same league http://www.yenko.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

I never read that his viper was stock,I don,t think a stock viper would keep up with it,but there are some vipers with modifications made to them like the camaro has to it and I would bet that they could stay pretty close!!There is a guy Here in Houston about 60 uears old that has a viper with modifications to it that he don't reveal and it kicks plenty of fast cars %^&*
when I say fast cars one is a 70 nova that is built up very well pushing almost 600 hp and the viper busted his bubble!!Now don't get me wrong,I love chevys and I don't like seeing them get beat but,sometimes they do!!

God, if only I had the $$!
Charlie, does it say on the invoice where that hood was sourced from? I love the look!
..Kind of a hybrid between an L-88 and cowl.

Joe,
Motion had those hoods in their catalogs?Did they make them or just sell them? I had an 80 Turbo T/A with that same Whale Tail and it had the A&A tag on it. That car was a Dealer hop up car like the Yenko's and Motion's. My Trans Am was built in California. The guy I got the car from had the Dealer invoice and the window sticker for the car. He said that A&A trunk lids were used on some of the Camaro's too. I thought they also made those hoods. Either way, that Camaro looks like a great find! - Jon

Jon,
Motion didn't do any manufacturing that I know of. They used various vendors then put Motion decals on the parts. Joel did design some of his own fiberglass parts and had them built to his specification. I do not know if the hood on the 80 Camaro is a Motion design or was just ordered from a fiberglass Co. existing stock.
