I like it, get the hood painted, get that paint buffed and lose the bird on the rear window, and you have a great looking car, looks like it sits kinda high though, after market drag springs?

I was thinking about going back to the stock hood instead of painting this one. I dont think its got aftermarket springs on it. It may be that the car hasnt been driven much in about 2 years and the whole time it sat with out an engine. If it doesnt get any lower Ill probably lower it a bit.

Oh how did you get an air cleaner under that hood, I shot you a pm today, not sure if you still have the car with these wonderful gas prices. I hope you still kept it as a toy for the weekends.

x2 exactly what i was gonna say, except for the aftermarket drag springs. Looks like thre front is lowered and the back is 4x4ing it, do the hose mod or something that way to make the gap a little smaller

Well, a lot has changed since these pics. First off the engine threw a rod, but luckily its got a new heart now. I also killed one t-5 in it. The rear of the car went down some but not as much as I would like. Got a stock and color matched hood also. Tinted third brake light and reflectors in the taillights.
I will post up some new engine and exterior shots as soon as I can. In the meantime, thanks for the compliments.
