Thanks everyone, for the "I like it", and the I dont like it" comments. I do like it, and am trying to build it that way. In the end I only have to please me.

I will look into thinning down the stripe to make it less noticeable, that is a good idea. Thanks Mike.

I will post some pictures in about a month to show the progress it is in.

I like the tunnel ram poking thru the hood. It's different and thats really important. I hardly even stop to look that closely at alot of 1st gens, esp. 69's anymore. So to see someone doing something unique is refreshing, I say go for it.
