Progression on the Trans Bird

Hey the name might sound a little weird but thats what my car is its a 1991 Trans Bird with the a bird motor soon to be an LT1. When i bought the car it look like **** (like always) had rust spots had the banshee nose and cracked ground effects. I still don't have the ground effects I'm getting the driver side one tomorrow and I'm still searching for a passenger side if anyone has a 87 t/a front right fender gfx I'm interested in purchasing it So anyways heres the pictures let me know what ya think.

Re: Progression on the Trans Bird

Looks pretty good so far but I see you need to line up alot of things yet like the gap where the hood meets the bumper cover and your head lights are not lined up with the hood. I am going through the same issues but I want everything perfect before paint...alittle shim here and take out a shim there makes a huge difference in the fit and finish!
