That does look cool!

So, what color are you going to paint it? And like Joel, I want to know how the LT1 is running.

Vette(s): ' 76 Customized .Mid year rear window ( ' 67 style ). It has an '80 nose,'80 rear bumper , and a 76 hood . Also , I squeezed in a ' 94 Vette LT1 . Paint is a custom mixed BLACK with RED PEARL mixed in !

IT RUNS JUST THE WAY IT SHOULD, WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL . THE HEADERS GIVE IT A LITTLE EXTRA KICK , AND THE STOCK MUFFLERS GIVE IT JUST THE RIGHT GROWL

. THE EGR VALVE AND PLUMBING ARE GONE, AS IS THE CHARCOAL CANISTER . DOESN'T AFFECT THE RUNNING IN THE LEAST ! I'M JUST NOT USE TO THE WAY THE OVERDRIVE KICKS IN , AS I'VE NEVER HAD AN OVERDRIVE CAR ,BUT, I'M ADJUSTING TO IT .

. IT DEFINATELY WANTS TO GET UP AND BOOGIE ON THE HIGHWAY !!

AS FOR THE COLOR , I'M HAVING A PEARL BLACK DONE. I JUST HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH ONE, AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS VARIATIONS . I MIGHT ALSO GO WITH FIBERGLASS BUMPERS, AND HAVE THE SEAMS GLASSED OVER FOR A SMOOTHER , SLEAKER LOOK .
