Haven't figured it out Caleb. Once i get her to the point of running then i'll dive a bit deeper into the cause. I think you might be right but i still have a feeling it's the cruse control... but i'm dumb so i'm probably wrong.
As far as the front end goes... Danielle, i really wish i could tell you i'm not going to do it for sure. But to be honest i'm still thinking about it. IDK I mean it's not a money issue either way now cause EVERYthing needs to be replaced either way. And i have the stock hood for both Epic and my 2000 Edge in the garage. it's 60/40 in favor of the 93-97 right now. But lets work on getting her running first yah?

i like ls1 front ends... def headlights... I would try and go wit that if you could.....
I'll tell you what would be weird and neat all at the same time.... Ha.. put a new front end of a trans am... with ram air hood.. and you will have the camaro rear end.. sounds neat... I bet it would look neat. and would get a lot of head turners.. the new trans am bumpers are BAD.. def with tha ram air hood...

Me, too. To me, its part of her personality. I think the newer front end would be mean to Epic, and to Edge. It would dishonor Edge's memory, and be like trying to make Epic look more like Edge. I don't know if anyone usderstands what I am trying to say, though....
But I just want to see her run again. You know you have to tape that, right, Grant?

Further update....
I just got back from the body shop. Ron got the left frame horn straightened out and the impact bar on. The bad news is it's definate that the lower radiator core suport needs replaced. Ron's good but he's not a mirical worker. So it's on order and he should have that all done by the middle of next week. Not much to look at but here are some current pics..
The good news is this. I paid Ron $300 for the work he's already done and he said that once the core suport comes in and he gets that all put together it'll be another $350. So his time and work on it will be about $650 total which is about half of what i was figureing. So yay! Once thats done (and we're talking about Wednesday of next week) Epic will come home. I have the fans already, the AC Condesor is comeing from Ebay, and i have the new radiator on order from Pepboys. It should all be toghter by the time she gets home. Then i can put it in and Finally - turn the key.
