Pictures, pictures pictures and more pictures. We want to see too. you have to share. I'm gonna call your Starfleet Commander(Rosa) and tell on ya for not sharein'.

I'll be doin' the same thing soon enough and could use the pictures as a guide.

I'm frustrated, George! Been tryin' to post my suspention pics in the gallery all mornin' with no luck. Keep gettin' message that the page can't be displayed.
I tested with a landscape shot that went through alright, dumped it and tried the suspension pics, won't load them.

Try saveing them in another format. maybe they are an unacceptible type. I think JPEG or BMP will work. And do they need to be a certain size. I haven't done a gallery yet, .....I know...I know...I'm lame!

I finally figured a route to take. Here's a pic of what I just took out of the "Starship". (this is a before removal pic)

Yes, that's a loop in the heater hose. Had to do that 'cause the heater core was leaking.

I appologize friends, I thought I had this picture thing solved.

I'm tryin' not to use a host, and post them myself. I feel like a real dumby!

Don't feel bad Dave. I just spent more than 2 hours trying to upload 8 pictures to the gallery. it kept saying "site not found" had to do it one at a time and get out of it and then back every time. what a pain in the keester. Stick with it, ....you'll get it.

O.K. George,
Lesson 1, open your hood, and you should find something that looks kinda like this.....

Don't lie to me Dave....Not the hood.....the passenger door. Mine was in the passengers seat. The heads and tranny were behind the seats and the bell housing and accessories were on the passeger side floor. No wonder I couldn't get it to start, No matter how much I stepped on the gas and turned the key it just wouldn't start. Nothin' under the hood....See!

Yours must be one of those rare mid-engine Vettes, with a trunk in front!

I love the tilt front clip!!!

Is the hood still functional, or do you have a solid deck?

It is one piece complete, but the cowel is still functional. The factory hood liner is there with the round cut out for the air cleaner to fit up in it. The head lights have been moved down behind the grill so the top of the hood is completely smooth. I posted some pictures in the gallery thingy if you want to see the front shot of the hood. I'm going to mold the front clip (and anything else I can) just incase of a boo boo.
