Well it has been some time since I was able to make a post. Some metal work was needed in the birdcage on the passenger side, which slowed things up. Mike Hacker at Outcast Precision Muscle Car did a fantastic job.

Wow...nice project! Are those Stainless Works side pipes available, or was that a one off piece? Will they work with the factory frame?

Default Nice project
Nice work Dave! Brings back memories of my build. Mike at SRIII does excellent work. The side pipes are nice too, I thought long and hard about going that route, but stuck with rear exit.

Who did the gas tank for you? I need to upgrade mine as I get fuel starvation from slosh below half a tank or less when cornering hard.

Cheers,

Jim
