Re: project "hugger"
I'm surprised you cut holes in the trailing arm crossmember for exhaust when you seem to be planning on a thorough resto? Not knocking, just curious, and I know it'll be beautiful when you're done.

Re: project "hugger"
thats the "only"! modification that i am doing. i felt the factory should have done it that way.... i really dont like the exhaust hanging down like factory had it....and thx for your comment! it should be purdy when done. the only problem is im finding nos parts are expensive... wow! .. dave

Re: project "hugger"
Yup. One of his buildings just West of you. I thought I saw somebody blasting some C10 sheetmetal parts in the southwest corner of your lot. Is that another one of your projects?
