[QUOTE=64pontiac;339833]So got the rest of the exhaust tacked together. keep in mind its 3.5 inch, so the bends are not tight radiuses and we had to work to keep the ground clearance, but its all great! Looks just like a really big normal exhaust system! I was all for an x pipe or crossover, but we got the no no in this case

Its all mild steel as it is going out for coating. it will still be TIGed though




beautifull work, I am curious as to why you wouldn't run an X/H-pipe?

Customer said absolutely no....... I would have put one in (I try to on everything) but he refused and was ultimately paying me so I had to cave.....

Some of these old school guys refuse to believe it works..........aka the engine builder

Got the rear firewall almost finished, just have to roll the top sections out and fire it in.....


When you look dead on from the front the bead roll finished off the lower section of the rear x bars...... props to my guys Brandon and Merv for thinking this one out, I really like the way it turned out!

Absolutely gorgeous! I love seeing the raw metal work and how you guys make it into rolling art!

Congrats on the build!
