You've started a theme now.....throw some HP evos with gold centers on there, and see if you can get Sally Field to go for a ride. Wait, scratch that last part, you'll need a younger chick.

thanks for the comments, either direction 
I'll try to get some farther away pics of it soon so you can see how it looks altogether, but I need to pull the emblem bird off the front first because I don't like them together...
and I'm thinking about gold center Boyd's Junkyard Dogs for it

Looks fine to me - there actually was a T/A in one of the mags over the summer that had a decal package similar to the entire 78' S&B edition installed. It also had gold centered wheels - was either HP Pontiac or GM HiTech, I'll try to find the issue...
I thought it was quite unique and most of the striping flowed fairly well with the new Gen T/A - and of course he had the bird on the hood.
You did a good job with the decal especially since it was not made for a sculptured hood, and it is quite large.
As far as the cuts go - was it cut across the center of each of the feathers to the immediate left and right of the birds' head? Looks like a sliding mismatch in that area...

I have to go against the grain.... I like it. Awesome job installing it! The ONLY thing I'd change about it is the color. I think it'd be awesome if it was black cause you'd wouldn't really see it unless it's just at the right angle... More of a "ghost effect"

I agree we need a pic from farther away to see how it flows with the rest of the car.
