20% back and 30% front ..... It is not really that dark, I am going to change it to 5% all the way around that way the A/C will be a little more efficient.
Thanx for the compliments, and good luck on your project!
What color are you going with and what size and style wheels?

Nice 'Bus guys, I have a '78 sitting in my garage that I bought about 5 years ago that I was going to build up, but couldn't get the money or the drive that I needed to do what I wanted. But its still sitting here and it an orginal 4 speed car 
Whats the plans for suspension and do you have anything done with the motor? I was going to do a BBC, 6 speed, pro touring setup if I ever got the cash

Suspension i don't know yet it's all stock it will need to be upgraded but that's for this winter. The motor is a Crate 350 from GM i think it rates around 260 hp or something it's brand new it's nice just got a new turbo 350 to back it up too

I also have a 78' 2-dr BU, it's getting the 96' Imp SS LT1 and a 200-4R transplanted in this week. I need to know if i chose the correct headers. I got a used set of Camaro LT1 BBK's that I'm hoping are going to work. I've had the them gutted and welded for clearance but I just need to be sure that they will fit. Any knowledgeable advice is greatly appreciated.
