Well it turned out good but not as good as I wanted.
On tuesday morning I finished up with the hood pins and started installing the nose. I had some real fitment issues and after fighting with it for about an hour I realized that the air dam that I created was pushing the nose away from the car and not allowing me to bolt up the sides. So I had to trim about 1/2" off and was pissed if I had test fitted it before paint I would have realized this and fixed it then. It was perfect and now I have an area that I have to fix. So much for rushing. Yesterday I did'nt get jack done and got up early this morning, checked a few things out and crossed my fingers and drove for the first time in 3 years to work. It ran great and I still have to tune, but my laptop battery is dead and I can't do shit. Since moving the battery to the truck I cannot keep a charge so I have to figure that one out also.
