Great build thread and great build!!!!!I hope my build comes as nice.

thanks man! it certainly has come a long way, and has a long way to go until I am satisfied with it.

not much to update on this, but picked up a new hood for the car over the weekend. guy was selling a 97 z28 roller on CL and it had this hood on it. I offered a swap with cash on top and he said okay. drove 2 hours, swapped hoods in 10 minutes and took it home. paid $200 on top of my hood so I think it was a smoking deal. unfortunately it isn't a factory ss hood, but looks exactly the same so I am thinking it is an older aftermarket version that isn't made anymore. it had stripes and hood pins which I took off yesterday, along with some paint under the stripes. whoever painted the hood didn't do a very good job so it looks like I will have to have it re painted. anyways, here are some pics I took, I plan on filling in the hood pin holes before I get it painted.

got to work on the car this weekend since it was so nice out. decided to try my hand at getting my 6le front bumper installed since it has been sitting in my attic for 2 years. I knew from the start it wasn't going to fit out of the box and it certainly didn't although wasn't that bad. I had to drill all the mounting holes and do some work to the turn signal buckets to get the markers to fit. nothing the dremmel couldn't take care of. while I had the bumper off I decided to test fit the intercooler and modified crash bar from fastbird. seems to fit nicely although I wasn't a big fan of the lower mounting brackets so I will probably do something different there. I will also be getting a new intercooler as this one is fairly beat up. the bumper is all bolted up for good, next will be figuring out how to mount the foglights I got from a 98+ car. I will also be cutting out the center section when I put the intercooler on for more airflow. anyways here are some pics

Looks good! Only thing is that bumper cover was still designed to work with 93-97 lights. I think I've only seen one or two cars that had 98-02 lights on the stock bumper cover.

I love those bumper skins. Not a fan of the catfish eyes... so it was an awesome design for what i would be looking for.

I do dig those bumper covers. I could almost talk myself into one.

thanks guys! I think it is the best of both worlds, I'm not a fan of the 98-02 headlights, but I like the grill opening and foglight provisions better than the 93-97 so to me its perfect. plus this bumper has a bigger lip like the Dick Harrell cars have. I am going to try to make brackets so I can use the 98-02 foglights work as well (already have a set). I also saw a thread on the other site recently that the foglights from a c5 vette are a direct swap for the fbody ones but have a different bulb with more options for HID's so I may upgrade to that as well.
