    Welcome to the site from northeast Ohio!!! :tiphat:

    Is that a nuclear activity or material symbol on the rear of the quarter panel?

    How about posting your car in the Garage on this site with more pictures and detail.

    That hood bulge reminds me of the 1970 AMX scoop, just needs the openings to complete it. Did you build the car or buy it like this?

    May not be a main steam, cookie cutter build but it obviously satisfies the only one that matters.

    Yes, its an aftermarket AMX hood scoop and octogon wire mesh to keep out the mosquitos; so its open but
    not true ram air. I had a guy from Monterrey, Mexico do all the extra cosmetic stuff for cheap. Original color
    was OD green.

    Nice, I have always wanted a 70 AMX and one reason was the hood!

    Looks heavily Brazilian themed. Those guys really love fiberglass and bondo too. Might not be my exact cup of tea but I certainly have to give huge prop's for the amount of cash, time and effort invested.

    Since nobody has asked about that sign yet.. is the car really used for drivers education training?

    PS. thanks for posting the pic! I've been debating back and forth between white and red grill themes for my Comet. Nice to see something real other than photochopped versions I've come up with so far.

    Yes, once used for driver ed when it was automatic and 6 cylinder. Much more fun to drive den my 69 goat.
    At one time it was labeled as a goat but now shelby. Might just call it 007 next paint job, lol.
