Roger, the intake looks sweet. What will it be made of....billet, carbon fiber, sheet metal, etc??

Nevermind...I wasn't paying attention. Funny how my school teachers used to tell me that very same thing as I gazed out the window. LOL!!

IF -- this project was still mine... I'd ditch that big fat ass front bumper and do something really small and discreet... The way it is now it looks like it's got a big fat wad of chew in the lower lip.

Enough about the front bumper! I already gave him a hard time about the bumper and he was saying it wasn't quite done....wait that was the 55.

Carry on

Im thinking the front bumper on these cars is harder to change then the front bumper on a 69 Camaro. Nothing is ever an improvement. You do realize a big fat ass car needs a big fat ass bumper.

Otherwise it will look like a girl with big butt and no boobs.

Possibly thin the bumper 1"+, move it inward .5"+, make a lower valance with a minimal splitter that compliments the dominant body lines.

Never short on opinions, is he? You thought you were done when he sold it..

Really looking forward to this car being finished as I really love the 62 Bubble tops.

Did you look at Neil's IG? He narrowed it a couple inches today and moved it back about that. No need to tin it as it will look thinner when chromed and not make the car look any higher then it should be.
