Looks good! The 79-80 front bumper seems to fit the 76 front end very well. What color are you going to paint it?

We tried to put the 76 bumpers on but they didn't work out. The intercooler in from a mitsubisi. We fabercated a barcket into the fenedrwell. We built our own fender well to scoop up air to cool it. Works pretty good. I have not made my mind up yet on the paint color. I was thinking something along the lines of a 76 sprint scheme because you never see one done like that. I didn't want the scoop on but the intake hit the hood so I couln't keep it a true sleeper like I wanted.

Nice setup dreambean.

If you want to keep the stock hood profile you have to cut,
rotate and reweld the upper intake so it points forward.
When you cut it you can remove a bit of material to drop it lower.
Not to mention the great access to port the inside also.
Works great for front mount IC's.
