hey guys, thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate them. As for selling the car, well to be honest it's going to be hard to finally let her go, but I've owned it for about 6 years now, and it has went from a bone stock RS to what you now see. Im not dying to sell it, but if I can get $6500 out of it i will, if not, then it will most likely be an upgrade to tuned port, and a posi over this winter. I just feel its time to let her go i guess. And for the hood struts people out there Well not a single auto store here had any for my car, so i wanted to go to a cruise in to show it off, so i fabbed up that quick chrome hood prop But dont worry hood struts are on order, shuold be in hopefully today. Thanks again guys BTW here one more pic

red87sc, the turn signal covers are custom made, not all that hard to do. All i did was purchase some plexi-glass from a local hardware store. I measured them out and once i had one right, i used that as a template for the other side. The i used some 5% tint i had and tinted the back side of the covers. I then used a couple small pieces of 3M double sided tape to apply them.. The light shines through them really well, and i've never had any problems with them coming off, not even while power washing it at a car wash. And sorry the STB isnt for sale, but i love trhat thing. It's an Edelbrock strut tower for an 82-92 fbody carbeurated, got it straight from summit i think it was like $130. Hope that helps ya out
