I posted some pics of the exhaust we are building. It looks pretty good if I do say so myself.

Great looking exhaust. Pics of the tailpipes? Or still working on that?

These pics were taken today. We maight be out the back tommrrow and start figuring how to do the exhaust tips. We have a few ideas. Chevy bow ties, or I was thinking some tips in the shape if the trucker girl mud flap decoration.We got the bumpers back from the chromer on monday all stripped down so we will do our mods to them and then decide how to do the rear valance. We got 3" exhaust over the axle at will get around the full width gas tank. I need to redo that upper shock mount on the G bar that just bugs the crap out of me. It is a total waste of space. With the ride height we have it set at the lower link level but only has about 2.5" of shock travel showing. So I would have to run a stiffer spring rate to keep it from bottoming out, so By moving the pickup point up it will allow the shock to be at it's design height at ride height, so it can ride nice and not bottom out.

Sorry rant over

Hey Rodger,

I was gonna post some update pics today but got busy. Was just up there yesterday checking it out and taking pics. It is a lot further along than last time I saw it, that's for sure. I have him one more month (til end of Oct) and then he is moving his shop down the road so that will put him out of commission for awhile as far as getting stuff done. So I am thinking what ever condition the car is in by the end of this month, I should go get it and take it somewhere. I was gonna get in touch with you to discuss.... are you by chance coming up to Nov Good Guys in Pleasanton with that big trailer again?

Doubtful, that is the Saturday after SEMA and the weekend of the PSCA World Finals in Fontana. We may win the championship this year. 2nd year in a row. Getting your camaro moved is no big deal. I have a few other projects brewing up in your neck of the woods.

I will be in Sacramento this weekend running the West Coast Hot Rod event. I'm supposed to look at Brent's 55 on Saturday night for some possible work.

Sounds good Rodger. Why don't I touch base in a few weeks as we approach end of month and see where things are at. Especially now that you are becoming a Camaro specialist!

Back to the original topic now!

.... but....... but...... but I thought Rodger was a Nova specialist?

I have seen Rich's Camaro, and the transformation that IRONWORKS has accomplished since late-August is phenomenal! I was supposed to go to IRONWORKS today (my day off), but I ended up going to work after all. I was looking forward to seeing Rich's car again. I'm starting to like this kind of car.... What are they called again??!!!??..... Camaros?... I even bought the latest issue of Camaro Performers......

We cut out pockets to raise the mufflers so they can be even with the subframe connectors. I can post some pics tommorrow.

Thanks
