This is really nice!! Nice clean job, and the car looks bone stock which is exactly correct. I would drive this daily, so hard.

Best part of the video was around 1:27 when a real sports/muscle car drives by.

I was going to mention that. I also appreciated the W-body on 24s or whatever.

Wow a G-body in the hood on 24s? Amazing.

What's amazing is that this Caprice is a product of the hood (hubcaps and all). Hey, the dude has taste.

This video answers one question: does the truck intake fit under the stock hood of a B-Body? Yes.

It is weird that it would fit under the Caprice and not the G-Body. I would have guessed that under the hood of the 2 cars would have been very similar...
