FRPP Springs, but I think that it's the Foose side skirts that make it appear even lower... I'm nervous about pulling into my driveway now... may have to keep some 2x8s in the garage and get them out when I want to pull out/in.

I love the look but don't have the guts to go lower. My neighborhood has curbed streets, but they're not straight up like traditional, they are whats called a roll-over curb. As it says you must roll up the curb at the driveway, they don't cut the curb to pur the driveway to the street, you pour the driveway to the top of the curb. Anyway, low cars, long front ends, chin spoilers don't work well, even at angles. But I can't move I just go here.

Danny the car really does look good, but it is quite the radical departure from what it was a few weeks ago.

It is a radical departure, but I think once everything is painted gloss black and it's all fitted and complete, you'll see that it still holds the same retro styling queues as before, just more towards the 66 GT 350 instead of the 66 GT.

Thanks for all the props guys!

I vote for a ducktail spoiler of some sort. Foose if it's available, CDC if it's not. I'm sure it would look great with no spoiler at all also, I'm just partial to spoilers.

This is the rear spoiler... after seeing a good side view shot, I've decided I will be going with a rear spoiler.

At first I thought the spoiler should be a big no-go. But, after picturing it with your new, taller hood, I think it will help balance the car.

Those side skirts look amazing, and it looks so good without the spoiler delete.

Still don't like the front bumper though.

I'd like to have a foose spoiler. I never can decide exactly what I want done, though. I like the Foose hood and the Foose ducktail, but I also like the GT500 front end. Any idea what all that together would look like? Basically the car above except with the GT500 front end conversion and with the Foose hood scoop on the hood.

Well I'm a little disappointed!!! Today I was hoping to see the car in full primer ready to be shot... what I see is the same as last week except they've been working on getting the hood pins installed.... A WEEK FOR HOOD PINS?!!?! And they're not even final on those as they're not flush yet... le sigh!

The hood pins will be sanded and painted black like the car, so they should be almost invisible when done.

I may be in the market for some hood pins. Do you have any info on those? Those are a great alternative to having pieces of metal sticking through your hood.
