Default Spring Fever

I thought I would give her a bath before the engine goes in next week.

Looks great! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

One question though... Why does the front of your car look like it sits so high? Also there appears (could be just from the camera angle) that there is a good bit of gap around the hood. Who made that hood BTW?

Car looks nice and clean <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> What are you expecting ET/MPH wise this year?
Cheers,
Chris

:sigh: <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I'm all too familiar with seeing red Z28's in that "nose-up, no engine in it" stance... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

BTW, I like your battery cut-off switch. Looks really neat done that way! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

It's a DG replica. It is a carbon fiber hood. Fit and finish is not to bad but could be better. The engine should be going in on Wed, then the suspension gets a dose of "tweaking".
