Absolutely gorgeous!!! Ya gotta just love yellow and black f-body's.

I don't think the three badges look bad at all. Together, they add a little bit of "retro" to it.

Post up more pics as it progresses.

looks really amazing! good to see all the progress, but I do think that a set of stock headlights with the whistler mod would look more appropriate

I Love this car! The only thing I would changer are the headlights they are killing it for me. IMO the whistler head lights would look better. Very clean car. Good Work!

Couldn't agree more. Also, Why not drop an LS7 in there to match the 427 badges?

I guess I am in the minority that think the headlights make the car that much "cleaner." I say keep 'em.

99% percent of the time....I HATE yellow cars...however, this falls under the 1%...that has to be one of the closest to perfect F-body's I've seen

I couldn't agree more about the headlights. To have a car that incredable and not put the stock headlights on it just isn't right. Thats just my opinion though. Teri, could you refresh my memory on the story of this car? Did you buy it wrecked? That dash looks like it just rolled off the assembly line.
