Heres another angle of my design . Due to time restraints I didnt even attempt designing a grill, just thru the Z28 logo in there for now. Im working on Marks idea now to blend the lower 1/2 of McNords design . Itll be up in a little bit.

This was a request from Happysem , who wanted to see a Dick Harrell type bumper on his LT1 car. Also wanted it lowered, rims ect . . Did the best I could man . Its SUPER hard to change it up with the LT1 bumpers due to the nature of the original design. So I got as creative as I could, without getting to radical. Its pretty subtle, but I think conveys the DH theme pretty good. The rims are Forgeline GA3R's $$
$$ ...lol . If you wanna see different rims or want anything changed just let me know .
Ive got alot of time contraints, so some of the texture and blending I had to skip over . I can go back later and refine.

DH... I had to do a Sunoco hood from scratch. Finding good REAL pics of an LT1 car with one to chop off of is, well , not happening lol .

Here ya go Mark . This is the lower 1/2 of McNords bumper design grafted to the LT1 bumper . I threw on his wheels too ...as this was a dead stock LT1 car . I dont have time to properly color it right now , a 1/2 *** job from black to silver would look just really bad so chose not to .

Only thing I don't like is the shape of the fog light/vent hole. Instead of it being rounded like the ls cars shape it more like the outer edge of the headlight with a little point to it. I love the bumper maybe somebody can get it made.

I'm not good with photoshop but i took an actual dick harrel camaro picture and used that bumper the best i could! I just like the edge's rounded more also the front lip looks big on the 6LE bumper but if there was a grill i guess it would be alright! It needs a billet grille for sure!
