Different - yes, sick - no. But that's just my opinion.

Wait, I didn't see the second hood, I thought it was the same as the first one you linked. The second one (sunoco) is not bad, I want to see what it looks like painted....

well the car should be ready for primer in paint in couple of weeks
ran into some problems with the doors so im heat shrinking them an doing body work on them.

i also ordered my cam a xr276hr-12 specs are int.276/exh.281, 1.5 rocker arms, dual valve springs, new tall aluminum
centerbolt covers. im goin to get my plenum powdercoated black, an runners black chrome or chrome.

so my motor should be done in a week once my parts get here.
as for exhaust im run the edelbrock shorties, with custom fabricated x pipe with
either pypes violater mufflers or race pro mufflers..

an since i couldn't afford my 4in. fiberglass hood i might just buy the lift off hood
or keep the original an add the 25th. anni. red rally stripes

got my new fenders






my z06 wheels i bought from julio aka SS#2906


what that 572 motor is going into


and my headers after cutting the emission control pipe crap that they had for them to look cleaner an not have all this pipes an hoses everywhere
i rewelded the tips an painted the headers again.
