vstol, thank you and your family for service and sacrifice.
I like the direction of your build and I have one suggestion or actually more of a pet peeve of mine would be to complete the rest of the front RS "split bumper" front end (U+L headers and endura nose and grills) or go back to a std front bumper. I guess it was bought like this, good looking car otherwise, I guess I'm a bit of a purist

No purist here as you can see from my other builds. Do you have a picture of what you are talking about?

this is a real split bumper front end -see above- notice the park lights are round on upper valence and above bumpers what some people do is remove the STD long bumper and leave U&L valances std and park lights are below the bumper
also on the RS front end there is an extended "beak" if you will that protrudes forward
that's all, in previous years RS cars had the hideaway lights and different taillights the 70-72 they changed from fender to fender and hood forward
carry on now

Thanks, I see the difference. I had a 396 Camaro when I was 18 I wish I had it back.
