Very Nice. Black is probably the color that shows any imperfections the most. Any the hardest to get right.

It's a standard L88 hood......I've been told by a few people (including Dick Guldstrand), that my hood is a GM piece. It may have been bought at a Chevy dealer by a former owner.

Ouch, tough luck on the rear end. That's hard work to set it all up properly. Have you purchased any new parts yet?

Right now I'm focusing on the interior and mechanicals so I've bought alot of parts for that but not for the exterior yet. I want to get her running good and nice on the inside then I will focus on the outside...if there's any money left!

Here is my project. It is half white/half black. It will be all black soon. New interior, new paint, fresh engine tranny & suspension. Keeping the rally wheels (kinda rare for an 82) and the CrossFire Injection.


Here's a shot of the wife's ride. She's black, too.
