so how much weight did you save by hackin that whole inner fender metal off? looks like a lot off work (especially when you dont have the right tools like me lol) for not to much weight loss. also got any pics of the fuel line relo? And definately like how you hid the wire under the fender well! very nice!

mmm That 4" ram air will look crazy ugly lol BUT! It'll match the short throw

You should utilize the open wheel wells and make some sort of uber-cold air induction from it, it'd give it a sleeper look compared to having a huge hood that you'd only need if you planned to go dual carb or huge roots/whipple heh



Offtopic: OlMasta, if you drive by the Goodyear on 94th & 35W you MIGHT be able to see my Firebird WAAAAAAY in the back (Well, you'd have to actually drive into the parking lot to be fair) Trans should go back in it sometime either next week, or the week after!
