    to upload a picture you have to host the image on a website, such as photobucket or tinypic.com

    once the image is uploaded you have to use the link with the following symbols:



    it should work then ;)

    if you can see what i'm gona do is make the two piece hood a one piece like the 88-91 wagons....now that the pics are up wht do you think??
    P.S. thanks wagodizzle for the pic prob.

    iguess u might thnk i'm nuts to do it but i think it will make it more streamlined. i used to have an 85 (my first) and i got her with the hood bent a bit. it bugged the hell outa me seeing the hood poke up on the ends like that. so one piece it will be...when i get around to it that is lol!

    i actually think that if you can do this well it will look very nice indeed!

    how do you plan to go about this?

    junk hood and nose piece. in case i mess up (putting it nicely) i wont be left without a hood lol! with the longer hood, getting to the release will take some creative work...or just go the easy route and use locking pins. and remove the hood lock altogther. like i siad b4 this will only go forward when i have time...and two good scrap yard pieces (i only have the nose piece for now.)

    you could just weld the stock hood, weld about a 1/8 of an inch piece of metal into it so it fits flush and smooth...

    just an idea.
