I know I always laugh when I see a car without a hood. It's usually a half finished, half baked idea driven by a red neck that doesn't know any better. ----- Mike Faunce mike@faunce.com '87 Buick Grand National '98 Pontiac Sunfire '00 Ford Expedition XLT -----Original Message----- From: owner-gnttype@gnttype.org [mailto:owner-gnttype@gnttype.org]On Behalf Of Andrew J.

As a proud owner of a '87 GN,I value your comments. Fortunately,I am not forced to drive my GN as a daily driver.I usually just go out on Sat night/Sun afternoons and hunt Mustangs. Since my car NEVER sees the rain,what is the opinion of the list as far as removing the hood? Would that be "Grand Nationally" illegal? Hear me out....I figure 50-60 lbs of weight loss + cooler engine = faster car. Besides,it will be easier for everyone to see all 218 aftermarket chrome pieces that are available for the engine bay when I buy them. Of course,you know what my wife said when she heard the idea....YEE HAW!!! (or maybe she called me a HEE-HAW,either way I don't think she approves) Andy Hairgrove tooquick@pcola.gulf.net
