sundew, are you talking about fitting a split chrome bumper on that `74? i`d like to see that. i know the `73 was that way . but are the frames different to accomodate the the urethane bumpers?
New ZZ4 and Hooker side pipes, then I'll have to save up for new rubber after running the new engine. Hey Paul, we can burn our way from your house to the cruise in after the BBQ

Engine compartment makeover and a few other upgrades for the Blacray. The white vert just got a new set of chrome Z06 wheels with new rubber today....
Yeah Paul I can smell the rubber.... That white vert is gonna let go of some of that Goodyear EMT compund before the new treads hit the ground...

For me it's a new stereo system and speakers and subwoofer for the back. This is my winter project. Wish Santa did installation too! 
You all have a Merry Xmas....

Yeah, that would be a trick, wouldn't it?
I think he's talkin about replacing the one piece '76 style bumper cover the with correct style two piece cover. The '74s were the only year with the two piece.
