Jody, maybe I missed it, but how are you bending your stainless tubing?
Looks fantastic.

If you're talking about the exhaust, I started with a Magnaflow kit for the Chevelle, and then cut/modified from there. The downpipe, radiator hoses, and cold side tubing is all pieced together from mandrel bent 90's and 45's, along with straight tubing. I do not have a bender for that size tubing, just for the fuel lines.

Are you going over or under the axle for the tail pipes?

Jody mentioned in Post278 he is going over the axle.
Will have to custom fab the pipes over the axle, the Magnaflow kit won't clear the Roadster Shop chassis.

Under would be MUCH easier, just haven't wrapped my head around doing that... I know several are doing that now and they say it works fine.  Still waiting on the gas tank before I can finalize that part.

Well, over it is.  I'm getting better at slicing and dicing...  It will hit the bumpstop before it hits the pipe.

When building tailpipes I always remove the springs from the coil overs. It makes it easier to verify clearances with travel.

Good idea, I did that to check my tire/wheel clearance in the rear.
