I'm sure not everybody is a fan of this look but I like the way the pipes turned out.

That may not be what I would necessarily do...but I like it. It shows some ingenuity and personal preference....always a good thing.
Its good to be different...nice job!

All Good

Ft.ValloniaStreaker · 04-20-2016, 08:54 AM

I'm thinking about doing the same thing (through the fender) off of a cutout

Installed new shocks on my Dad's 71 big block.
Took my 72 out from winter hibernation and washed it.

I'm running a big block, the passenger side was a breeze, the drivers, well....I thought about cutouts and tail pipes, but the cab floor is hot enough as it is.

Pure Toy - future trips to the dragstrip. Doesn't get out in the dirt much anymore. After suspension, rear end, brakes work is done, going to add a supercharger.

Today on the way home from work, I recessed the grille and lowered the passenger headlight a little with the help of some friends I made in a Hyundai. Also I vented my aluminum radiator, trans cooler and engine oil cooler with the water pump pulley.

Well, I pulled the steel part of the low-pressure line off to find the hole in it caused by rubbing against the inner fender. Next step: find a replacement for the steel part of the hose or have one made.

Sweet mod........That's a bummer. How's the frame?

I only built shelves above the garage door, for the cowl and an NOS inner grille I couldn't pass up.
