thanks for the compliments guys, and im always willing to take critisism Mark, if stripes arent you thats cool, and i thought the 5.7 on the side would be cool because it gave people a hint that its not just another v-6 or 305 RS without being tacky. Thanks again guys, i really appreciate the compliments.

pardonme, here is another pic of the blisters for ya, they are not exactly like the stock blisters, the insert in the scoop does not have the black textured stuff on them, they are made from fiberglass, and they also sit a bit higher than the original ones. I looked for a long time for a 91-92 z hood with the blisters, but had no luck finding one, so this was the alternative, and even though they arent exact, i love them, they give the car a nice attitude adjustment

Are those the same hood blisters offered by Hawks Third Gen? http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/in...l?v=1&pid=2560 . I think they look really good raised up a little higher than stock. Where did you get those night driving lights in the grille and how much. Look great.

Riggs, the hood blisters were from a place called east coast customs, there web site is www.eastcoastcustoms.com, but from what i understand the ones from hawks and thirdgenresource are the exact same, the driving lights were bought at the compact power jam carshow in carlisle pa a couple years ago, but they are piaa brand, so im sure you could find them on there web site, or a piaa dealer, unfortunately no one around me sells piaa stuff, i like them alot because they have a bluish tint to them, thanks for the compliments. Pardonme, you have a good suggestion, i wish i could show more people, particularly the ricers around here what the 5.7 will do but the fear of tickets keeps me in line for the most part. Another reaqson i added the badging too is that every car show i went to, it seemed like the judges, or spectators would just assume is was the 305, because they basically look the same, i dont wanna sound conceded, but i wanted them all to see it was a 350, and i did all the work, im very proud of this car, its came a long way from its original days as a completely stock 3.1 base RS. And to be honest, for what the car is, and the 1/4 times i am putting out, i think i have done it really cheap, i would say i have less than $5000 in the car total, doing all my own work of course. I dont think thats too bad for a car that i can show and will run a best of 14.16 at 97mph a few weeks back Once again, you thirdgenners are all awesome, thirdgens are my passion, i always loved and wanted to own one, i will never sell this one, and it will never be truly finished

The only reason I said something about the badging, well maybe 2 reasons, is that 1. that's where Stangs have their 5.0 badge and 2. a 350 isn't all that I guess? now maybe if you had a 502 badge or something.

But I hear ya on the wanting to show that you have something besides an L03 under there.

I just took out the dash, and painted the border of the guages with a flat white paint, i thought it might be a lil different than just having white faced guages, i like how it turned out, but most likely once i get a 140mph dash im going to go with the white faced gauges from Macewen and get rid of the white border, glad u liked my stab at being original though

I would think that white od with your car, i mean its not going to be overwhelming, i agree that red would kinda just look nasty. I would suggest possibly the white, or a dull silver, not a shiny silver. Im not a fan at all of painting interior parts, but in this case i thought it was a nice touch to a stock cluster.
