yes, there's been a few more updates. I have been so busy working, I haven't had the chance to post anything. I will do so very soon.

Here is the new update....

Sorry for the delay in updates... Been a really busy end of summer and fall. The car is great and is tucked away for the winter. Some changes are taking place, but I wanted to update on some of the things we have done so far...

Thanks to Holley for the help with the the exhaust system and to the Roadster Shop for the installation. We got it to fit high and tight. They did an awesome job. Thanks Guys!



Right after the engine and trans was installed by Performance Restorations... I drove it open headers to the Roadster Shop. That thing sounded badass. Now I want cutouts.. LOL. Here is the clean canvas...



Setting up the X - pipe and determining the route...



With the Muffler mocked up, the angle of the first bend is set..



Cutting pipe, I love the sparks shots... LOL.



The front section complete, ready for finish welding...



The Hooker Aerochambers that we used. Very nice sounding mufflers...



After all the routing and welding was finished, took the set up to the paint booth and shot it with ratttle can Ceramic black paint...

Did you change the exhaust recently or is this from last spring? Curious how the paint on the exhust would hold up.

No. this has been on since spring and so far it's holding up well. I want to have it properly ceramic coated maybe this winter.

I wish I knew. I asked the same question. Call Phil at the Roadster Shop. He may know or ask him if he'll sell you some.
