Very slick and clean, i like it a lot. Nice work. Question though, on those March pullies, was there a "cap" for the center section of the power steering pump like the one for the alt. and water pump pulley? Reason i ask is b/c i got that setup from someone and it looks like there should be a cap there, but there is not. I have the kit for the pressed on power steering pump. thanks

well as for the march pullies my car was in the shop and i went out of town during the time and the setup i had on there before was nt really working so i went with this system from march...i think it was like 550 just for the pullies but i think it was well worth it... and as for the cap on the power steering pulley no it doesnt come with one....

Looks great
The only thing I would try to fix is the front nose to hood gap. I use to have a gap just like that on my SC. I fixed it by rasing the light bar on the bracket infront of the radiator right in the center of the Light bar. Get someone to push up on the nose from teh bottom while you adjust it.

Hey man thats the thing, as far as your general person is concerned there is nothing special about your car. All someone is going to notice is hey theres a nice camaro and maybe point out the cowl....But thats just the way i like it. You have so many little details like leather seats, non stock gague cluster, aftermarket shifter, aftermarket wheels, what seems like a super high quality paint job from the pics, and a really awesome looking engine. Most people dont notice stuff like that but thats what its all about. Having a super clean car thats done up to the eyebrows but everything is so seamless that no one even notices all the custom stuff.....good work!!!

Very nice looking, I was considering stripes myself but decided against it.. Maybe in the future if I change my mind, but it looks badass.. My harwood has the exact same nasty gap as yours, doesn't it suck? The problem is the hood is low on the sides at the fenders so you can't really bring the hood down more, if the cover can come up it'll prob look a little better.

Looks sharp. I'm guessing it's a pretty big stroker engine since you don't list the cubic inches anywhere. You might want to bend up a metal fuel line and get rid of all that rubber. A lot of tracks wouldn't even let you run with that much rubber line.
