not so sure on the grille, but i like the front being extended down to make it look lower. got any more pics of that?

what's the engine out of? is that a ford crossflow?

You've managed to get a nice door line, especially at the bottom.

I like it. Just needs that little 1300 replaced with a 1600, and the tubular manifold. Also a 5-speed, and some nice 15's :) (p.s when I say 1600, I mean 1700, stage 2 head, fast road cam, and twin 40's.)
