The car was scheduled for a photo shoot August 13'th for a feature article in Popular Hotrodding magazine (one of my goals during the build) but was cancelled due to the fact that I would not take the car down the 1/4 mile at Rt. 66 here in Joliet, IL at the Super Chevy show and apparently that was a pre-requisite for the shoot."

Steve, you bullys! I was not aware of the must race rule?

Car looks nice, but I hate the fuel cell. Does anyone else think the Big hood and front spoiler combination looks funky?

Very nice, but I would change the hood to the Pontiac Ram Air Hood that should be on there. Otherwise badass.

I agree, it is a very nice ride that would be that much better with the Ram Air hood instead of the cowl induction hood

yup the big hood is no good. Looks like a weird cross between drag race and road race. If he had a poncho motor, I could see why he would need the hood, but with the LS1 it doesn't make any sense, unless he just liked the way it looked. I have a 3" cowl hood instead of the killer ram air hood on my car, but on second gens carburetor clearance is even worse. The flat hoods don't give you any clearance whatsoever

Yep, you big hoods because you HAVE TO.. on Penny when I got her the hood was needed for carb clearnace.. it would have been lame to run it on the LS2.

Reminds me of the guys with the mustang 5.0's with the triple stacker dual scoop ram air cowl hoods, with a stock motor under it L-A-M-E lol
