Fot example i didn't vind the olds emblem in front of the hood.

Sweet - I like the cruiser look of the 98 drop top, but the 88 looks tough - more street rod. Nice car.

I was considering black for my 98; your 88 looks very good in black.

Do you have the trim rings for the SSIV wheels?
I keep hearing that 90's Chevy truck rings will work, but I've never seen absolute proof. A fresh coat of dull argent paint & new trim rings would make those wheels look brand new.

Your car looks great.

Derek,

Your car really looks nice, and that hood emblem looks right at home there



I really like green and your car looks good in it.

when I had my Delta I thought of blacking out the vertical silver lines between the headlights on either side to enhance the long vertical look on the front but never did. Of course if you are going for the original look then that would be out of the question. Just a thought.
