Thought I'd share ....

So now with the LS7 in there, I was able to ditch the 2" cowl and put on a proper SS hood (which I always wanted). Powder coated the louvers satin black, cut out some nice stainless perforated steel vents and had them painted in the matching pin stripe color but satin finish

Its very hard to capture the true color of this car, but my 14 year old nephew came over last night with his nice SLR and snapped this shot ...

:flashie:

The car came out beautiful... The color combination looks great.
Great idea on the hood louvers. I have always been a fan of the SS hoods.
It's good to see one with some modern twists.
