Very nice guys, is he changing the wheels? They just look a little dated? Nice looking car!

Awesome suspension upgrade Ben. Just wondering is this the EFI tank from Aeromotive/Tank Inc?

The exhaust on this car is 2.5" od. That is an Aeromotive fuel tank with internal Stealth 340 pump.

Ben do you guys have those tailpipes readily welded for this set? I have complete front and rear suspension from Speedtech and have the auromotive EFI tank. I have stainless steel works headers but with exhaust dumps and looking into getting the tailpipes

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Sorry to say it's all custom built in our shop. It's a tight fit so best bet would probably have someone locally bend them for you.

The tail pipes would probably be a nice item to make as an option to go with your truck arm kit. I bet it would be a good seller.

That's a great idea Waynie. Probably the biggest issue is it's a tight fit and you have to be careful how you run it so it doesn't vibrate on the car body or frame. It's doable but it takes some time to fit it right. Since there's several different tank options for these cars and with variances in assembly line inconsistencies, it would be tough to make one universal kit and have it fit each car. We do sell the entire stainless exhaust kit from headers back. It's a build it yourself deal where there are some prebent tubes but you have to cut and clip here and there to fit it perfectly to your specific car. If our kit is above the heads of some folks, a good custom exhaust shop could easily knock it out.

It would be our preference to do something a little wider, but the owner likes these. However, it looks TONS better with the ride adjusted lower. More pics soon...

Wow! Another "auction car" gone bad... who'd a thunk it!?!?


Nice work and glad it turned out! Such a bummer to buy a car and have it go south on a guy. Now that he's found a first class shop -- maybe he'll start to enjoy his car the way he should.

Thanks for the compliments Greg.

Lol! The last 3 auction cars we had come in all had major issues. It's a shame folks that don't see the problems are buying these cars for top dollar, and then find out later it was thrown together poorly. Helps keep the honest shops like us busy I guess, but it's still too bad. Anyways, at least it'll leave here in good shape.
