I should have kept track of hours but I estimate 500, I only work on it Sat and Sun mornings, prolly why it is taking so long.

Yes, air shocks are gone, I am in the process of rebuilding my 12 bolt with disc brakes, the UMI bars and swaybar will go on at the same time.

So I thought I would show how a repop hood fits, the nose of the hood was 3/8" short which totally screws up the trim. Luckily I had a good Malibu hood that I cut the nose off of and grafted it onto the repop. Moral of story is don't assume these parts fit out of the box, test fit everything first.

And a picture with the trim mocked up, did buy NOS eye brows because the cheap ebay ones are much bigger than stock ones and look ridiculous.

I bought the popped ones too but have not tried the. I think I have a left side NOS one. I did buy 2 original SS hoods but stuck with the factory flat one. Thanx for sharing pictures
