she is ALMOST done!!
I finally got to drive my car today!!!! Still have a lot to do to her but she is driveable!!! Got a long winter coming up to finish all the other stuff.I dont think she will ever really be done.The more money I save the more things I can do to her.Hope you like, and if you dont...oh well...I built it for me not you!!!!!

Looks good. What did you have done? Drop the nose down on it a little bit and the stance will Look 100x better.
I like the hood. I have a 3'' cowl on mine but it has a much thinner cowl. What type of hood is that because im in the market for one just like that with a wider cowl.

Looks great! I hear you on the drive-ability situation. I live in Nebraska and now is the perfect time to drive my IROC. Cool nights with the T-tops off cruising down the road, it doesn't get any better.

Re: she is ALMOST done!!
Ah I was gonna spring for the sunoco hood but hawks wants 469.00 plus tax and 15$ handling and 145.00 freight. 630+ is a little much for the hood. If i could have done it for 100$ less It would have been mine as well. Looks good keep up the good work. Cant wait to see it with the new stance.
I have a hardwood 3'' lift that I must have left unpinned and when I took the car out for a ride the next time the hood cracked on the corners because It lifted up. Luckily I was not going that fast. Next hood is going to have more than just hood pins I need to keep the latch on there. I do not want to go through that experience again.

Re: she is ALMOST done!!
ouch!! I got mine on the cheap cause one of the corners was messed up.
I love the Sunoco hood....I can see my air cleaner thru the holes in the back. :-)
I cant wait for the weekend so I can get out and drive her some more!!

Re: she is ALMOST done!!
Looks awesome! I love those wheels and I really love the sunoco hood. That's what i want for my car, however, hawks says US shipping only.... If only there was a supplier in Canada.

Re: she is ALMOST done!!
Looks good! I have the sunoco hood as well. I almost went with the same wheels, but went with sterns instead.
I like the hood stripes, realy changes the appearence of the hood.
