Default L-88 Hood Pics...

Thanks to Bill (69TTop502) and Chris the new (to me) hood is on the car.

The alignment isnt the best quite yet, but I made a post on the C3 forum in an attempt to get some ideas on how to line it up better. Here are a couple of pics!

I love the view over the hood now!




I like it!!!! :cool: What do you think???

If I'm going to run around with this big bump in my hood...I must get this thing in the 12's!!!!

It looks good, but is there suppose to be that big of a gap in the front of the hood?

Nope. Thats part of the alignment problems I'm having. It should match up flush. and it will it's just going to take a little work!

Juice isn't out of the question you know!

Avatars can be updated but that pic is going to be tough to beat!

Mike on the fitment of it. When I saw it at etown I thought when you replaced the rad support thta maybe the nose slipped down some. That might be all it is. I'll send you my Assembly manual so you can see the adjustment procedure. :cheers: :chevy :chevy :chevy :chevy

Mike, just get about 3 or 4 gallons of bondo and build your soround panel up to match, paint yellow and your done.

Seriously, it could be when you put the rad support in. If your soround panel drops when putting in a rad support won't your headlight be out of alignment?

Yeah that seems to be the consensus areound here. When I get back from Boston, I'm going to hijack another day from Rex and see if we can get it straight!

Hey Rom Wnat to Photoshop the ZL1 Stripe on there????
