Pontiac guys might have noticed the vents look just a little different and it's because I designed them to be smaller and more subtle and reveal actual vents and Bob fabbed them out of sheetmetal per the design along with the hood extractors in fiberglass, metal spoiler, front valance, taillights, license plate relocation, bumper mods and a bunch of other subtle stuff. He missed the Top 5 but got a shoot for PHR on Saturday night so that was a nice silver lining to his weekend.

Thanks for jumping in Jason. I was straining my eyes to see the credit board and who the builder was. Please relay to Bob that his car absolutely stunning. I'm a huge, HUGE fan of early 2nd gens and have wanted a 72 forever. Those subtle mods are EXACTLY my style of build. It's refreshing to see a nicely done red muscle car again. Charcoal trim was cool too, not overly understated and worked well as an accent.
I really like the one piece nose...the factory gap between the upper and lower section is insane on those. Hats off to you guys!
