Only mods include a SLP lid and the Edelbrock exhaust. I'd like to maybe do some headers and a mild cam to it in the future. But for now i need a break from spending money and just cruise.

Putting clear marker lamp lenses would be a nice touch with a lighter yellow like you have.

It came out great. I like the color. I agree the hood does need something. A manta or the hood insert would make for a nice addition. Needs more black .

Other additions to consider are:
SLP grill
black corners
whistler headlights

Thanks guys, got about 300 miles on it so far and only real issue i'm having is with the clutch. I replaced the master on sunday (only part i didn't replace) and the pedal still sticks. I ended up cutting a small hole in the floor to access the bleeder and it seems to be getting better, but i think theres still more air in there. Slow process.

Sticking clutch isn't unusual. Do the drill mod.

It wasn't that bad. Everything came apart easy and went together again easy (its nice working on a car thats not all rusted). We had to swap over some brackets and cut some holes in the new shell but it wasn't near as bad as it looks. Just time consuming.

Thanks guys, 1200miles on it now and so far do good. I have some clutch issues but i believe its a bad master. I have had it at the track twice with so so results because of the clutch sticking. Best run was a 13.6 @ 99mph but i've gone 102mph with 14.0-14.2 times. It has the potential to do a low 13 to high 12 but i just gotta get the clutch figured out first. Had a buddy take a video but i didn't turn out well, so maybe next month when i go back i can get a better one.
