I agree. I actually like that idea and would love to do that someday.

I am new to the forum but not to RS cars, as I am a big fan of your work.
I really like the little fairlanes...and that motor is SICK.

I've been preaching that for years. Too cool.

Tanks for all the comments everyone!

The Fairlane is back up on the lift for some seriously intricate exhaust and header work. Lets just say when you stuff a Kaase Boss 9 motor into a Fairlane, nothing near the motor is going to be a 'straight shot' when it comes to the headers. Fortunately, it makes for some really cool looking headers!

You can see what we were snaking around here:









And the result:!

I'd say seemed based on the fact that the "line" goes away where they have ground on the tubing.



Please, I beg you, do not do any finish work to the headers. They look amazing as is right now.

Thanks!
Mike, the rectangular tubes are single tubes and you are seeing the seams.

Mike and Tone, I agree with you guys 100%. I was going to wild on my Chevelle and decided not to for that reason. Motor, wheels, brakes, frame etc. are all modern, but leave the body and stuff alone. I was going to cut the hood up with custom vents and stuff and decided to just leave it stock.

Oh, and I cant wait to see those wheels. Talk about 3 piece wheels...those are 5 piece wheels. RS just raised the bar once again.
