yea i would deffinatly put the header panel on... it will help it flow so much better... plus its like a modern styling paying homage to the classing flat black hoods, it was done on camaro due to the header panel but cars with thier hood extened al the way to the end had the and the look amazing. steve rupps fairlane had it like that and JPs 2 much nova also and lost of mopars were like that back in the day.

i too prefered the old wheel with the way the car is now... but yea if you pull the front bumper and if you PC some of the chrome a dark color it will all flow that much better.

you got a supra motor in you 67!!!!!!!!! and you worried pin stripes would be too euro? haha you 67 might have been born a muscle car but its screams exotic to me!

make no doubt about it, I LOVE YOUR CAR! you did a hell of a job and that int is amazing!

Popular opinion says to remove the front bumpers. Well here you go. I'll throw in a before and after shot for comparison.

Before


After

I said earlier that I had a big ass intercooler on CS (Culture Shock), well it is a big ass intercooler that hangs down through the two vents on the front air dam. Do you guys think it looks ackward seeing the intercooler through the vents with the front bumper removed? With the front bumper on it wasn't noticeable.

Here is a picture showing how thick the intercooler is, it sticks out of the front air dam.

To me the big ass square turn signals kill it. Shave those and make the opening just a bit smaller vertically so you don't it above the bumper.

One more variation with the lower part of the intercooler sprayed black. I think this looks the best.

Looks great! I'd just spray the IC and tubing black.....and I have to say I'm with Rodger...a standard valance would look better.

What did you use to paint all the trim? I think this is one car that would look killer with the flush mount glass kit!
