Thanks Guys! I appreciate it alot and hope I can give some fresh ideas to the table. It's taking forever but I'm a patient person and also wait for the budgets. I didn't get any pictures yet of the rear suspension but I also have the Torque arm installed along with the panhard bar and had hotchkis lca's but sold them and now have UMI lca's with relocation brackets installed too. I will get some pics when I get a chance of them.

A lot of blood sweat and tears into that car (and $$$$) nice work! It sure has come a long way thats for sure. Keep up the good work!!! car is getting a lot of love thats for sure.

BTW, what did you use to cover the wiring? Looks like a braided cloth material from the pics.

I used some braided plastic type covering. Got it from Fry's electronics locally. It was cheap and they had many different sizes. I still need to finish covering more of the wiring, just got lazy and ran out! I find myself starting several things at once lol...

Question: Have you/Are you going to redo the headliner by any chance? I know my headliner is faded and pealing up by the t-tops, and even though yours looks like a hardtop, since you are basically touching everything else on the car...?

93QWKZEE, I noticed you also bought the 97 SS air intake to work with the SS hood and you converted to a LS lid. You interested in selling the 97 SS air intake? Car is looking good.

My headliner is still perfect even though it's a 93 My interior Was still in Pretty decent shape Except that damn dashpad! Although I will probably redo the headliner black! If i were you I would try and find one at a junkyard shouldn't be much as long as you can do the work yourself. If not search on all the forums you'll definitely find one.

Yep 10 bucks I had a friend that works at a pic-a-part here in town and gave me a call about the SS. So took a trip up there and the car was trashed in pieces looked like the owner was trying to rebuild it and gave up! the spoiler was gone but the intake was in the trunk and the hood was there. And to my luck that day it was any one part $10 each so I grabbed the intake and hood!

93QWKZEE, I have a similar setup as what you have in that pic. I just picked up an SS hood and thought if I could pickup the SS air intake it would be cool. Typing this I thought of something else. I am missing the brackets under the hood because I picked up my SS hood off craigslist, and my car was torn apart and the factory hood didn't have the brackets on it. Since you bought an SS hood I assume with brackets on it and I am also assuming that you had a stocker too, do you have an extra set of brackets? I am looking for the latches and the brackets for the gas springs. Let me know.
