I dig it......looks cool with the ram air hood.....is their a screen or mesh in the grille opening?  some kind of texture would look good so you dont see the radiator/supports etc.  Nice job!

 
Thanks guys!

Since this picuture, I installed mesh behind the grill.  It did give it more a finished look and the "stuff" behind it is hidden.

 I'll be adding black to the center of the grill (with tape initially to see how it looks).  The space of the emblem is kinda big and looks like it should be a different color or something.  Making it black may tie into the black on the bumper and pull the look together better.

^ More pics! I could photoshop your car with a black stripe if you like.
...and there was light!

Looks great to me.  Should make the car stand out more at Power Tour!

Based on the general comments, it doesn't look like my recent mods will be well recieved...

Well if you can't say something nice don't say nothin' at all...

I like the headlight covers...

I think the grill looks ok on a modified car.
if the car was near stock then i'm not so sure.

I wonder if the one in the magazine ad is the actual car in Carm's photos. Wild stuff.

Are those Lincoln markings on the top picture?  What the hell is that thing?

It's a Lincoln show car, circa 1983...the Continental Concept 100:

It looks like a sneak peak at the '84 Mark VII.
