Here is another view of the front emblem.

 

Artwork!! Jewelry!!! It looks like it was supposed to be that way from day one!

 

It looks awesome. It looks like it came off the assembly line like that. Great job!

 

still can't wait for the day of the 1st ride

 

I was not a Chevy guy; was that the emblem only used for V8 models?

Nice!

 

Yes, the V8 models came with this emblem and a large gold "V" below. The 6 cylinder models had a larger crest, no "V"

 

It's back up on the rack now and I took a couple of pics. The first is of the rear suspension, in particular the latest addition, the height sensor. I'm using the AirRide 3H system and this shows (hard to see black on black) the sensor. The next pic are the Quick Time Performance cutouts.

 

Crank up the volume!! And post those pipes calling!

 

You talked about using two grills to make the emblem work.
What part of the second grill was used to close in the gap where the original bow tie was?

 

Dang I am impressed with the attention to detail. Super nice work - can't wait to see the final product.
