Nice hood and motor What is written on the hood? I was thinking about getting some 400 emblems for mine, like the 70's Chevelle had 454 on each side of the cowl.

Thanks..yeah thats what i was thinking of when i put them there. The older cowl hoods. Good idea about the 400 emblems! Here is a crappy pic not sure why the letters look crooked but there very straight. must be from the resizing.

try this one.

lookin good!
i wouldnt lower it if i were you. it looks very clean, like it just rolled off the show room. i really like how the mods are subtle enough so that non-3rdgen folk would think it was stock.

After driving it around for several days its settled down in the front. I had it up on stands for a few months. I dont want to loose any ride quality its pretty smooth with the NNN rear springs.

IM thinking about widening the stock rear rims to 9.5/10" and finding some sticky 255/50/16s. That should make the most of the 255 size tire.

I dont think they make anything wider without getting really tall.

You should get Eibach Sportlines. Your car would look wicked sweet.

I like the drop you get with those. Not sure if if the ride quality is good or not. I might give them a try some day, i could always sale them.

I would just like to drop the front about 3/4" to an 1" The back is fine. I have an extra set of BZWs for the front. IM thinking aobut taking off a quarter coil at a time and see what it does to the ride quality and height of the front. The lighter stuff up front has raised the nose of the car some. The more i think about it thats what im gonna do. I dont want to drop it much just a little.
