Very nice! Reminds me of the red '88 I sold a few months ago. Another member here bought it and is putting an LS1 into it.

Car came out nice. Is that the ASCD hood? I bought that hood for my GTA, then sold the car for my 00. So I have that same one sitting in my garage.

Thanks guys.
I am running Spacers in the front and an LS1 rear end in the back.
I am really fond of that hood, gives the car some personality.

The gap at the rear hatch is due to me welding the motorized lift a little too high. I have it adjusted all the way down and it isn't enough so I will need to elongate the bolt holes so I can get it to sit a little lower.

I miss my '82 I was going to put a blown LT1 and 6-speed in it. This is about what it was going to look like...
