Wow, now this looks good! I had a similar idea with the intake and valve covers but wasn't sure if the intake would be ''too much''. Really looking forward to seeing how it turns out

Well i finally got some stuff bolted back together, i hope to have it up in the garage this weekend then start hanging up more plastic and getting ready to paint the hood spoiler and bumpers. Also still have to paint the lid, stb and wiper cowl. I also got the passenger seat mocked up but it sits a little higher then i would like so i may try to do something else with the bracket not sure yet. I also still have to reupholster the doors and do some more detailing under the hood and under the car. I'm also still waiting on my emblempro's parts

Hit the car with the claybar today to get some small spots of overspray off then hit it with Menzerna intensive polish to get some of the scratches out from the damn plastic i had covering the car from when i painted the engine bay. I'm gonna start prepping my bumpers hood and spoiler on monday.

Here's a short clip of the new medium classic chambered powerstick muffler that i put on. Still running the pacesetter longtubes with the ory then the powerstick dumped off the ypipe.
