Cool dude,
Can certainly relate to the broke part. In the middle of the body off thing myself.
Good job, keep the pics coming.

GLAD YOU ALL LIKE MY "LIL" PROJECT . I'D SAY IT HAS A UNIQUE LOOK . HOPEFULLY, THAT BLACK PRIMER WON'T BE AROUND TOO MUCH LONGER . BUT, IT DOES GIVE IT A NASTY LOOK, MATCHED WITH THE TINTED WINDOWS .
ACTUALLY, I CAN SEE PRETTY WELL BACKING UP, ALTHOUGH , I WOULDN'T MAKE A HABIT OF IT . CAN'T WAIT TILL IT GETS TREATED TO A NICE PAINT JOB OF PEARL BLACK ! THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS GUYS ....

THE WAY YOU SEE THE REAR WINDOW, IS THE WAY I BOUGHT IT IN ' 94 . THE CAR WAS SENT TO A CUSTOM SHOP THAT SPECIALIZED IN THAT CONVERSION, AND, FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD, THE STATION WAGON BACK . I'VE ONLY SEEN ONE OTHER LIKE MINE, BUT, THAT WAS YEARS AGO. HAVEN'T SEEN ONE SINCE . GLAD YOU ALL LIKE THE WAY IT CAME OUT. I'M THINKING OF FIBERGLASS BUMPERS AND HAVING THE SEAMS FILLED IN TO GIVE IT A SLEAKER, SMOOTHER LOOK. JUST SOMETHING ELSE TO ADD TO ITS UNIQUENESS

If you can put some side gills in before you paint it, do it.

THE REASON I WENT WITH THE ' 80 REAR BUMPER WAS TO MATCH IT TO THE ' 80 NOSE. THE ' 76 HAS' BUMPER GUARDS' AND THE ' 80 DOESN'T . PLUS, I THINK THE ' 80 BUMPER GIVES IT A MORE ' UNIQUE ' LOOK. BUT, THAT'S JUST ME .

Could have gotten a fiberglass 76 rear bumper and cut off the "bumperettes" and glassed it smooth

It's all good though, your ride and what you like best

and I love the LT1.........
