Sounds nice, my LT1 sounded like that but I had Borla. LTs are some nice sounding engines. Kind of miss it. It was a ram air LT1 6spd.

Looks like a clean car.

Lowered car a little bit in the front last night. Still gotta do the rear just a little.

Tried new hood out.

Under hood shot. Now I got bugs worked out from moor swap I'm gonna hide fuel lines and all electrical wires on fenders. Then repaint a little under the hood.

Wow, love the engine bay... already pretty clean! Too bad the hood didn't work out for you, it sure looks nice. Were the fitment issues just the front and near the rear hinges?

Nice job on the car. Looks and sounds great! Too bad about the hood. Are you going to get a similar hood? I think that hood looks great on there, minus the fitment issue.

Thanks man. Yeah the hood woulda looked nice but it would take a lot of work. Yeah it's pretty bad by the hinges. I may still mess with it. We will see.
Thanks for the compliments

Nice ride!! I have literally the same car. Question, what valve covers are those. I didnt see a notch for the alternator and they look like they fit good.

Thanks guys. That's the only pic I took while we were messing with hood. As far as the valve covers I had to notch the one but it's notched at a angle so you can pull it off without removing the alternator. I'll snap a pic in a little bit.
