I'm thinking of maintaining the 'aluminum' look of the radiator and support, but considering painting the 'flat metal parts' (Not the grills), with the same aluminum/silver paint I used on the engine/trans; that will be easier to clean and maintain the look...

I have MUCH to do to the chassis/underneath before the final body drop, but I wanted to make sure how it was going to 'sit' and how much clearance I had before finishing those up; those include: gas tank (has to be a custom tank), fuel line(s)-regulator/filter, and emergency brake from midpoint to the front of the car. I have the Lokar cables for the rear portion. I'll be VERY glad when I can sit the body down and bolt it; then maybe I can begin putting on some other parts, insulating the inner sheet metal, and beginning the wiring. I got the throttle pedal/cable today from JEGS; I'm anxious to fit it and hopefully ensure how it's going to fit and work and put that out of my mind for awhile...
