Thanks guys for the kind words.
Like always it's a work in progress, one think I can't come to do is put an Aero kit on it even though that is why I bought this car.
But if I do install it I will try to do everything to keep it looking clean and not like a bolted on ricer kit.
I do like the chrome look though...

I've tried to keep any mods low key and stock appearing at all possible lengths.
I am still reluctant to put tubular control arms and rear disc brakes on it or 20" rims... I want to avoid a protouring look but feel that with a ground kit it will look more appropriate.
I cringed a little with the Aluminum Radiator I just installed but it looks stock.

The GNX kit I am fine with, it's stock to the GNX's and looks factory once installed, still waiting on the Jigs, I am next in line and should be going in next month.

I still need to get the hood functional with an airbox, that's my task for after the new power plant goes in and the intake height is established.
I have a mangled aluminum hood and want to mold the frame into the bottom of the hood with a screen so it will look like a stock 70-72 W-25 hood.
