I like the round holes with driving/fog lights in the front. Lennie did it to his Firebird and it looked fantastic. I'm sure if you blend them in so that the rest of the front is 68, it'll look great as well.

Yea I think the only way to make a choice is to mock up both. Got most of metal work in trunk done tonight. Boy it's real easy to flip thru builds on this site and go "I can just cut and weld that just like they did" wrong! I have huge respect for the guys that do this everyday. So here are some updates I got the fuel tank plumbing and the II much fuel installed. I Was very excited about using the stock 3/8" fuel line to work with a little bending here and there.

Also made a filler piece inside the shock mount to get it sealed up. I know the welds are not the prettiest but they are strong. Tuff to weld upside down! Lol

Looks GREAT!!

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm trying to do most of the work on this car myself instead of paying a shop like my last project (that I never finished). I have also convinced my wife on letting me buy more tools with all the money being saved :lol:. The whole point of this project was to spend time with my teenage boys before they are gone off to college. You guys out there with small kids enjoy this time with them... they grow up fast. Ok enough with the sob stuff back to the car crap.
So I got a ton of work done on the car this weekend and took full advantage of some of the black Friday bs. Ordered DSE subframe from Billy @ B&B and the front wheels as well. I will post up some more pictures in a bit. hope everyone had a great turkey day!

The Anvil inner fenders fit very well I was surprised. Also got the DSE brake booster mounted and lower bracket filled in.

Coming along great and you are doing a very good job with the fab work. Keep the pics coming.

Excited! Truck showed up a day earlier than expected! Time to see if this is going to fit in the back of the truck.

That was to easy! Fits perfectly. I was concerned about the fit with the carbon inner fenders and possibly having to trim them. Next is to get subframe connectors installed.
