Thanks....I was hoping for some positive feedback. I plan to smooth the valve covers and add something like LSX ZL4 or something similar.

Well....you got me there. Your work is on another level. Right now it's in pieces. In about a month or so I'll probably have something to show.

I like the ZL4. Its not like you are trying to rip anything off so go with it. Have emblempros make you some custom ZL4 badges. I also agree, get that edelbrock off the valve covers.

I as well was like wtf how is that gonna fit?!?!? Then I saw that you took a chainsaw to the cowl lol. Looks great, should be awesome when you finish it. What car is this going into?

Thanks for the input.......I'm glad you guys like the ZL4 concept. My local guys didn't seem to like the idea. I thought it was pretty cool........so...you know who's vote counts..lol

It's going in a 94 Z28 convertible.......with a few body mods!!!!!!!
