Donovan might chime in at some point. He has a very detailed explanation of all his work, and does a great job posting appropriate pics that coincide with the progress. I don't recall if he said how many hours he has on the hood, but the cost involved is just in metal/welding wire, and the normal metalworking tools which he has.
Not to bad then..ima play around on The internet tonight and see what I can find..most of the images I see are of montes class buicks and malibus..the grand prix guys are very few

I can't remember the exact number or if he actually quoted a number of hours he has invested in that hood but I do remember he said that he had a lot of time in it. I think it's worth the trouble. I love the look of the Juggernaut.
Kind of off topic, but that's me lol! Here is a link to my build thread if you feel like checking it out....

And, here is a link to "The Juggernaut". I love all g bodies, but this '80 cutlass has got to be one of the most bada$$ cars, especially when it gets finished whenever that may be lol!

my thoughts on the rolled cowl hood, is it may have to be a lift off only... if the angle comes back too far, it'll take out the windshield before it opens enough... would be cool lookin though...
can't remember his screen name, and haven't seen him in awhile, but there was a guy here for forever that had a badass GP with custom hood and bodykit on it... hopefully someone will chime in and remind us!

That was 454muscle and it has been about 2-1/2 years since he has been on here.
Looks like he was trying to sell it a couple years ago also.

other than the rear wing, I always liked that thing... looks like the pro-touring crowd bashed him pretty well...
Yeah, I didn't read the bashing until after I posted the link and even though there were some things I thought were just too over the top I still liked the car.
I also think he thought the term "pro touring" was basically a modified car you can drive anywhere which is different from what most of us know it as.
The car does look good, some dated details but still a clean planned out build that makes the car. I will agree with the spoiler but in my opinion GP's are hard to match good spoilers due to the body lines. Now for the post bashing from that other forum, unnessary remarks. I know there are disagreement here, a few heated replies here, but wow on the hate. It proves this is one of the better forums with the friendlier members.
