I think you will enjoy your car a lot more if you do it the way you want it and not the way it was originally. I would go with a set of fat Cragers in the back and skinnies up front and use the L88 hood. That would look sweet.

I agree. That is totally the route that I'm going with on my '68 Camaro... although the 2nd day look I'm doing is after it comes back from Motion as the Mind Bender

Only cosmetic thing left that I don't have is the mid-year Corvette side pipes, but I have a local friend that will sell me an unused set for $500.
There is so much that can be done to make the 70-73 Camaro's look bitchin' I'm jealous! That will be my next project (after I finish with all my current ones).
You're going to have so much more fun with the car doing it as a Day 2 car!
