        Please keep metal bumpers. Early body lines are so much better. You need an es valence, tucked bumpers, and paint the bumpers black=)

            Tucking them looks like a nice option. I think the chrome looks like poopy

                  Should I PlastiDip or use Trim paint on it?

                      Junkyard for the valence

                      Also, paint would be great if you never want to see the chrome again. Rough it up with scotchbrite and use satin black krylon paint.

                                          Do the "i" head swap and keep the eta bottom end for sure!  I would highly recommend to replace the valve seals while the head is off.  Can you replace the rod bearings while the crack is still in?  If so, do that as well.

                                          I have a 524td manifold if you're interested.  You'll have to source some adapters to make it work.  A guy on r3v just sold some.

                                          I would keep the metal bumpers.  The rear sits a little higher so it is more aerodynamic because racecar.

                                          What are you going to do for a tune?
