Added a few things and updated.

Any ideas on what I should do cosmetic wise?
I still have the Sunoco hood just waiting for paint.

No cool updates right now
I got the Transmission fixed and have been working on some minor maintenance to keep it running awesome.
I was bored at work and pulled my front bumper, modified the foam and bumper support to make a functional air intake to the radiator and air filter... it should have came from the factory this way because I am now seeing cooler coolant temps and 25-30 degree cooler trans temps since the hayden cooler gets a lot more air now.

After I do a little touch up to the grill area I will take some pictures. I also have someone lined up to paint the hood as he is just waiting for me to bring it to him, I just cant find the extra cash at the moment.

If the person who bought the car sees this can you post up and let me know if the car is still around and or alive?

Just curious,
Thanks!

This year I actually replaced the vert with a nitrous Hayabusa, scared the wife, almost died a few times but had fun with it. I traded the Hayabusa for the 427 Camaro... Had the Camaro for 2 months and ultimately sold it for what I really wanted and needed which is a Yukon Denali.
I miss all of them BUT I need something that doesn't take a lot of worry to ride around in and I love the comfortable ride and power of the 6.0 that the Denali provides. I just put some 22" rims on it along with a lot of small things and still need to lower it a few inches.
I will still end up dropping a turbo 5.3 in my old 96 Ranger so at least I can go fast when I want. I bought my wife a 2006 Mazdaspeed 6 and modified it enough that she brags about having the fastest car in my family so I have to put a stop to that lol.

Trust me I am thinking about it.
If I don't I just hope a kid doesn't wreck it or someone buys it and turns it into a pile of ****.
