Moving along.............................

Measured up for wheels

Front 18x8
Rear 18x10





Wheel of choice.........................



And now building the exhaust. I wanted the tail pipes to go over the axle. It's going to be tight, but it will fit and work.....























I will be able to fit the tail pipes between the frame rails and the fuel tank to hide them the way I wanted to.

Why is the exhaust rigid welded to the frame? Me thinks that is going to crack the hanger welds after some driving

Got my Wegner Motorsports accessory drive installed. All I can say is WOW!



Steering is mocked up..........



I'll take the opportunity to give a shout out to Ididit. I purchased one of their columns about 7 years ago. The top of the column had become sloppy. When calling them for parts, they asked for the serial number and told me where to find it.
Without asking for dates, proof of purchase.....................asked nothing...........They offered to repair the column, free of charge. All I had to do was ship it to them. What a pleasant surprise.

Tore apart the headlight buckets for blasting and power coat
