| Nice looking rig! How about a full body shot with the blacked out chrome?
The D bodies are starting to grow on me. In the past I loathed them, but I have started to really open my eyes a bit. I could really see myself in a blacked out, hard roof model with Impala wheels... It might be my next big GM...
Keep me motivated, keep the pics coming! | |

| Dude... First you paint the lower trim to make it look like a DeVille... Ok. Fine. I can deal with that. Now you build an AWESOME friggin grille, and then you want to ditch it in place of a" Homie G-Slice" E&G grille??? Really? You're fired! Use that AWESOME web grille! That looks killer!!!! | |

Are you going full murdered out or black w/ a little bling .02¢ ........... Im a fan of the E&G w/ your web design..... if your going all black then do the grill black too best thing to do is keep picturing the final product and go with what you always wanted and get the most satisfaction. ... also... there is always room for improvement with any GM vehicle right out the factory........ ever! | |

| Anyone know about adjusting the front bumper on a fwb? I put the new one on and it's too far over in one direction, but its a the end of the slides that are on the bumper part with the shims.... Does it adjust by the bolts on the plunger side as well? It's only off maybe 1/2" but enough to notice the trim doesn't line up. | |

I had to loosen the absorbers to get it to line up. |

I knew you Steve would appreciate this car Its a stretch with a black car but he likes a very limited selection of them. I like it too! I can't wait to see a finished project or even better, the real deal in person! Keep up the good work. | |

| Thanks for the pics, I always wondered if that damn roof just came off or was a living nightmare to remove. What does a non broughm rear window look like? Where did you manage to find an STS steering wheel? I have been hitting the yards hard trying to locate one! | |
