Nice.

I love the door handle idea, if I was body working mine I'd have done similar and added billet first gen handles or similar. The stock lift type suck.

Can't wait to see more of your billet pieces, are you doing this yourself?

Did you fabricate the headers and the elbows to mount the headers? If not where did you get them?

The fabrication and execution on the car looks awesome.

Thanks,

David

Believe it or not the headers are up and forward ss from cx racing. 400 for the pair , a true 1/2 inch flange and pretty nice tig welds. Very happy for the money, the elbows and turbos are from them as well. A lot of people talk badly about those turbos because all the stuff is from China however I know quite a few people running them and they work well, the turbos I got for only 300 a piece

Agree, hate the floppy second gen handles.

I had to cut out the Detroit speed tubs ,I ended up going with a 345 30 19 tire and they just weren't big enough , also had to stretch the quarters with these panels , formed them on an English wheel
