Any hints to some of those looks and performance items for us who are a long distance from seeing you again soon. .........

For looks I would love to do:

NPP Diffuser with Quad Tips
GM GFX Splitter
Heritage Grill
Street Scene Lower Grill with Ducts
and Fender Vents

For Performance
Might switch to an HP tune if it is worth it
Want to try out the 25% underdrive pulley
SS rear end swap
DSS 1-piece driveshaft


Some of these prob won't be for awhile though but def think the diffuser/quad tips and grill will be relatively soonish.

Thanks for the info. Those are some really cool mods you have planned. Certainly building one nice ride. I have thought about many of those myself. The most important one I see on your list for performance (especially at the drag strip), will be that SS rear end.

I think I going to make a trip to NY... there's a beast I need to take photos my car and a IOM beast I know is there!

I think that might be next winter honestly. Might try to see if I can have both my cars where I live so over the winter I can try to install the rear end myself and save some $$, it doesn't seem to be that hard?

Thanks, no I won't need spacers for them the offset should be fine.

Thanks! The IM seemed to have dulled a little I might try to polish a little area and see how that works. I am also going to buy a new plenum cover and send it out to get powdercoated in IOM rather than having it painted with spray paint.
