Great looking car. Glad you're getting settled. Good luck finishing up the car!

Exhaust is all finished up! My buddy Matt knocked it out for me and did a spectacular job. 3" stainless all tucked up above the bottom of the subframe. I opted to hang the mufflers out back to increase ground clearance and add the weight in the rear of the car. Cant wait to fire it up and see how she sounds :-)
Hauling it home tomorrow and will get back to work on it after Xmas.

Question: what did you fab for the hood hinges since you went with the fiberglass fenders? If you could post a couple pixs I would appreciate it!

Thanks,
Michael

Michael,

The hinge mounts are basically a U shaped pedestal off the front down bars. I believe you can see them on an earlier photo of the car when the front clip was removed. I will see if I can dig up a better pic and post it for ya.

Not bad for a "Vette Guy"! :peepwall: :stirthepot: :goggles:

Have always wondered how Jeff lived in the Vette world. He hardly wears any jewelry, and his chest hair barely cascades out of his shirt. He's an anomaly at best. Maybe that's why he's doing a Nova.:lostmarbles:

Geez Ron, I need to show you my piercings, was hoping to get to know you a little better first. :action-smiley-027: Ha ha
