i always ment to change out the hood, and wanted the sunoco hood, but as strange as it probably sounds to most, i just started to like the flat hood on my car. i guess if i would replace it i would go for the SS hood, and if i find one over here, i will most likley try to get it. but thats most likely because i almost cant close the flat hood w/FTRA

I want to say this is KY-turbo & performance's shop car but this is the car that made me want to just lower my car and leave the Z hood for now.
funny..... they are both the same color and have a similar rake going on
Ever decide if your going to do that 383 build?

I know what you mean, sometimes I see some cars that I think really pull off the Z28 hood. But I agree with you I think on your car with those wheels the Sunoco would be the best hood if you were to get one.

the 383 build is what i think the sensable middle way betwean the 454 i want and the 346 that i have, but i must say.. last nigth i test drove the car for the first time as a complete thing, engine running smoothle, no codes, all the suspension installed, new steering gear, bucket seats and more, and i must say i am really surprised with the power. had driven it so few miles before, and always battling some codes and errors. or maybe im just got so used to my family car
thanks for the commets guys, i sometiems say that it really is more modded look vise than most people see, but also that is exactly what i want.
exterior changes are, shaved front bumper, removed camaro badge, shaved rear panel, removed all moldings, removed all emplems.SS spoiler, we spent hours sanding and buffing the body to get the wafes out of the doors/fenders. and used a diffirent black color than the GM one, and a real nice clear code, and i also changed the blinkers to white ones.
i am goin to add a 93-96 rear lamps, and have bin on/off with the center mounted exhaust for a while,
i will take more pics tonight,

I like the way my car looks with the flat hood and the SS spoiler, once I lower it I'll decide if I want a hood but I'm thinking a bit of a rake and a nice fat tire in the back I will be happy!
Have you seen those velvet rotary pads that are supposed to buff out the orange peel? Would be alot easier than wet sanding, but I haven't heard much about them. My car has some nasty orange peel on the spoiler I bought (came painted) so I need to do some sanding as well.
Your car looks great thought. I'm still trying to figure out where you coilpacks are from your sig picture too
