real nice lookin car u got there man

- gotta love the Glasstek hoods, much better style than a Harwood hood IMO

u got new parking lights up front, shaved door moldings, etc, it all adds up to make the car look cleaner, nicer, etc

-what style hoodpins u end up using... im leary of getting some for my glasstek hood, after i paint the car.. any brans or type suggestions?

i'd drill the holes for the hood pins BEFORE paint. But i went with "big end" products. Not sure if they're just local or not, but they came with nascar style lanyards on it as well so I don't lose the pins. Summit, jegs, etc all sell them as well under different brands

yea there's tons of pics of how it started out on my cardomain site....REALLY rough paint/motor wise. but now i'm really happy with how it sits. Hopefully I can fight the mod bug this winter and not spend too much cash on it while it sits. Past couple years it's been 3k or so a winter spent on the car. Hoping to keep it less than that this year. haah.
