Re: My 86 build
got to work on the exhaust first thing this morning...got the x-over in, and mufflers on, all tacked together for now, someday I'll take it off and fully weld it all, still have to make some hangers for the mufflers, but it sounds awesome....the x-over actually quieted it down some......that's prob a good thing.....

Re: My 86 build
...got everything done that I needed to today, got the exhaust on, made a rad hose, shift linkage on, bled the rear brakes, and took it out for a few rips...runs really good, pulls hard, but I think it could use more gear, def a posi too.....got a few bugs to work out, havin issues with the power steering, but very excited to drive it some more.....

not that I know of....I haven't laid it out with it in on, but everything should be good, only the mufflers look like they're lower than the frame, but thats where the frame "kicks up"....
