I probably should have done my hood like the Silver Camaro too. But then again I bought the extended nose hood from VFN, and had to cut every side for it to fit my stock front end.

Hey Dennis, Man your killin it!!! I cant wait to see new pics....I wish that I didnt have to wait so long for parts!! The wagon is not far off now, I just dont see the point in starting it if its not all ready!! VFN have sent my rails to the shipping yard, and are then going to get them redirected air freight to me. I look forward to being able to get back onto the Camaro!!
I see you have a big race at SGMP very soon, from what im seeing on here there will be a few new cars out there.... which will keep things interesting!!
Keep up the good work, Catch ya.

Thanks guys!! Timmy the car looks sick!!! Was looking forward to meeting you at SGMP but something has come up not going to make it..Good luck man!! Robb thanks buddy!! I was going to use some simple Dzus tabs from morso on mine. There is a few pics on here somewhere about mounting hatches. I hope you get the diff sorted out soon!! If it takes that long to ship it be lucky to have it by spring!! We just need to hit the lotto so we can finish up the junkers!!!! Later

Hey Dennis, It's a shame you cant make SGMP, from what im hearing there is going to be a few new knockout cars there!! There is always another race though. I found some pics on here with the hood mounted and actually dug up an old thread responded to the thread and pmed the guy who had one mounted but never got a response..... anyway. I bought the dzueses from VFN to mount the rear hatch, I actually got those, but just chasing ideas.
I know about the shipping but when it cost me $150 a piece for the hood and hatch including gst, I cant complain as it was going to cost $700 a piece air freight!!
It is worth waiting for. But I do need to sort it out! I have alot on my plate right now finishing the wagon, and I nearly have bought an investment property behind me..... that will alow me to expand my yard and put up a nice sized new shed eventually.
Damn..... I wish that we could win the lottery. My junker has unfortunatly taken a back seat the last few months! I look forward to getting back into it. Keep up the good work, catch ya.
