It was involved in a minor accident which required a new hood, front bumper, and front drivers fender. I also got a new drivers door out of the deal.
Took 2 weeks to get all fixed up!
T-minus 45 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :secret:

OMG It turned out GREAT!
First thing is first. I have never owned this car with no spider cracks on the front bumper. Now, it's spider free!!! WOOO!
The hood fits like butter. I could literally stare into the paint forever.. NICE!
Here's a teaser!

Damn thats a nice looking cowl hood congrats!!!!! Is it functional with your stock SS airbox?
I assume it would be, just with a larger opening in the scoop?

You think about trimming down the backside of the SS emblem? Looks a hair thick for my preferences.

It was Dan Rich Automotive and Collision Center in Homer Glen. My total for all the accident work was 1000.00. That was for hood paint, new front bumper, paint on the bumper, new front fender and paint on the front fender.
I had some other work done while it was in there so my actual total was 2K.

Sir yes Sir! The air sits right under the opening. :) Makes me a happy man.

It's a grille emblem from a Chevelle. I actually never liked how thick it was, but since I paid like 50 bucks for it, I just used it. I think I'm going to either trim it down a lot, or just take it off and re sell it. Its a LOT larger than I ever expected.
