the emblem i got 2 years ago at the nationals in dayton. i think its a gm repo. but looks good and fits nice.  the wheels were done by joe at f-body warehouse.  decals came from http://www.phoenixgraphix.com/gm.htm
jegs had the headers. a/c delete from http://www.acdelete.com/pages/70-81_F-Body.htm
the mis parts from http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~body~cadeflbk

what color do I paint it. white or black.  I love black, but they are like an a__ hole. every body has one.  white is bad a__, and you don't see it very much. and both are hard to keep clean. dark blue is nice. but don't like it with the gold bird. any blue.
