I've always wanted to do that, I made a chop a long time ago from my blue T/A and my white one. Looks good!

I'm confused. Is that a Camaro with a Firebird front?

I hate being stupid.

I love it. Some mesh on either side and a strip of LED's at the top of the opening for the signals behind the mesh and that is money.

I think the high rise SS hood would set that look off... specially the black slots in the grill. That front is sooo sick though... mmm
