Gonna snap some more pics of my grill shortly, got the digi back. I was really anxious to go put it on, but my better judgment told me not to lol and to wait for the hood.

Well I just placed the order for the hood....

ended up coming out to just under 700 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Very nice guy to deal with to, he assured me his work is to the highest of quality and I will be very impressed. Will take about 2-2.5 weeks to build. Gel-coat finish, finished both top and bottom.

The freight and packaging is what ending up bringing the price up so much. But Im still getting a **** good deal.

Should have it within the next month, so Im hoping by the end of february. Im not putting the grill on till then.

Taking the car into the shop on saturday to go over everything in preparation for the swap. So, hopefully the motor and ***** will be in by the time the hood shows up.

My cowl showed up today so I decided to get some work done. Figured the bolts on the hood side of the hinges would be the ones to worry about, nope, had 3 out of the 4 on the fender side of the hinges break off. Seems rotted out a bit, 1/4" drive and a little twist and pop. Oh well, drilled them out just need to tap them and get hardware tomorrow. Moving up to 5/16 I guess.

The hood was just the white gel coat finish on top when it arrived, I plan on painting the car this spring/summer so I decided to paint it black for now. Popped the grill in also, I think Im going to do a few more changes to it though and pull it back in a little so it sits more flush with the headlights. Will try to get the hood on in the morning.
