yeah, maybe I should send it to pimp my ride and have them do what they do best. Place tv's in stupid places. maybe a camera facing the bottom of the engine bay and a screen inside

Thanks. I've been lucky with parts so far. I collected most of what I needed before starting this project. What I couldn't purchase has been fabricated. I've got a small cache of spare parts (head gasket, shims, timing belt) in case anything goes wrong. I know that Rick Diogo has some parts too so I'm going to have to count on him as a backup.

there are people making custom fiberglass on L bodys. One I saw looks like it has the side of a head growing up through the hood. To me it looks like a deformed hood bulge but many are going that far these days, mostly cars from Japan though.
