You know... I really like that LT1 hood. I guess I'd have to see them in person. I like the pics on the other forum better though.

No John, just the hood.
Raising the bar for me would be a nice 5 or 6 spd and at least another 100hp

The new hood looks great!
Did you paint it yourself or have some one else do it? What was the ball park figure for shooting a hood?

The same local guys that painted the car 9 years ago painted the hood for me.

I won't put any numbers that don't reflect what's truely under the hood although that little bit of chrome would accent the hood nicely.
Now where the hell did I put that 572.

I like the L-88. To me, a C-3 just looks perfect with one!

That is exactly my problem.
That and the cooler air, but the LT-1 hood looks better IMO. I think it's the chrome inserts that do it.
