Is that a cross-bar support which will go between the down bars with an opening for an LS air intake? (I have no idea what the real name for that item would be. ) If so, interesting..

Very nice. I love when the fender fits tight to the grill. It makes such as difference.

Im a newbie here and I just spent the last 2 hours following this build thread. I could say things like- WOW!, Great Work! Super Skills, ect, but it wouldnt even begin to describe level of imagination and just raw passion of talent that this car has asorbed into its new soul.

Im just one of those car hobbist that enjoys restoring old pieces of crap in his little 2 car garage. I love doing this kind of work and I can do just about anything I want to try. But no where the level of this kind of work. I can beat on a old fender for hours and in the it might look ok, but the work I see being done on this car.... its almost like this car is becomeing something more than a very well built car. Its becoming a piece of ART. The artist creating this masterpiece is producing something so visuial that it will release Endorphins racing out of your pituitary gland and you will be forced to study every inch of the car for hours. This car is the Mona Lisa for the car enthusiasts....

Well thats my opinon.....
