Looks good, but if you had the car painted, why'd you keep the fugly front license plate bracket??? You had the perfect opportunity to lose that thing and have the holes filled in. Would have looked much cleaner up front.

I told the asshat who painted it to take it off and fill the holes but it didn't happen.. I also got the car back with no rear bumper cover cause he said he couldn't get the paint to stick. The plate bracket will be gone and filled shortly! Thanks for the comments guys!!

Looks real nice, real clean, I like it alot, I'm quite jealous, and you would know why if you had ever seen under my hood. (leaking gaskets are a bitch)

Mike, do you get the whole car repainted, or just matched to what was left?

I had the whole car painted but the guy couldn't paint the cervini's cobra rear for some reason. It really didn't need to be all repainted but I thought color matching would be difficult.

Thanks! I got the MSD distributor in today! This time I set the base timing at 14 deg. Is that too much?

Yeah 14 is cool for breaking in and driving around town ... 16 is ok too for a lil more performance but the gas will go a bit faster ... car looks great BTW !!!
