Thanks Brendon, I was trying to nail a some what factory look but in 17" rims. I bought these before Year One came out with the new Rally rims. I still might like mine more.

Thanks Tu, Your car is coming along great. Must be nice to have a more modern motor in there.

Thanks for the comment on the LS motor. I was at a car show last weekend, and a guy with a custom 68 Firebird stopped by. He saw my engine compartment and said " you ruined the car", then proceeded to point out all the "wrong" things on the car, then walked away in disgust.

So, he had a (custom) 68 Firebird and he made comments on your custom car.

I grew up a Chevy guy, now I'm a GM guy and what ever else looks cool. Pontiac purists are everywhere and are very critical if you are not 100% stock. I feel that you should build your car the way you want to.

Yup. I did not want to get into a pissing match (LS vs Pontiac debate).

Looking forward to your next update.

Rob looking Good! looks like this is going to be a great summer coming up about july when it warms up. lol. remember this when anyone gives you any crap about any of your decisions it is not theres and it is up to you to build it the way you want it! so just do what makes you happy everyone has there own opinion of cool and that is what makes hot rodding cool if everyone liked the same thing life would be boring! keep up the great work.
