I've seen that one posted & while it's not something that I'd want to do, I am truly impressed with how someone got it to flow as well as it does.

Yup, good execution, and it's a resident on the Abortions thread.
If I didn't already have a project underway I would get it, Stick a Mendeola front and rear suspension in it along with a Subaru STI motor, and run the hell out of it. I would never DO THAT ^^^ to a Ghia but since it is already molested...
I don't find it THAT offensive.

Looking at that hood, ...
... it really wouldn't be that much of a stretch to imagine going from the standard Firebird Trans Am eagle ...
... to something just a bit more appropriate such as this ...

I'm going to be in Travelers Rest tomorrow.... Getting it back to MN might be more interesting since we flew in.
My bride might not appreciate me swapping part the planned trip to Disney with the grandkids for another (kind of) Ghia....

Yeah, minus the cross... The eagle on the hood would spruce things up a bit.
