I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Has anyone any experience with Showcar's quality? 

That integrated front end has some possibilities.  It's probably not a TC nose though, right?

well I made one for Tbird232 and delivered it to him at last years CJ. LOL.  we just traded hoods and a bit of cash.  still havent heard back from him as to how it is holding up though.....  I know he was happy with it.

I gotta find another stock hood to make it from.
