Got word from Mike that the new exhaust has been installed. Original plan was for splitting after the cat and going full length out oem tail pipes. I haven't seen it yet but will get a couple of pics and a video clip for the sound of it. Stay tuned.

Are you recovering with the original anniversary material? The red inset material looks the same as the red from my Crimson Cat. SMS had all the original materials. I'm sure they would have it for you too. I wasn't able to find kits so had to have the covers made. BTW the car looks GREAT.Originally Posted by conmech

As you all know, priority of project cars is:
1: get it running.... DONE
2: add other items as they are located for comfort or appearance. WORKING. Mike contacted me this past weekend and told me that he has something for the 20th......

Ok, as of right now, the a/c system is only one of the projects for the 20th. Other projects for the project includes SVO seats getting redone in Canyon Red with halos in CR also, white face cluster with LED's and CR surround....... and possibly an 8.8 build with 3.55's and PowerTrax unit......... 4 lug.

I have some thinking to do..........
or
Really like the period correctness of the BOYDS (16"X8") but think the chrome staggered SVT 10th Ann (17"X8"or9"/17"X10") look really good too.
UGH!!!!! Turn my brain off, PLEASE!!!!!!

Wheels are like music or women, it's all about what suits YOU: forget about someone else's opinion. Having said that, my boxtop came with a set of Boyd's that matches yours. The FIRST thing I did was to sell them.
But it's about wheels, so my opinion shouldn't/doesn't matter.
Mike
WFIW: I don't like THOSE wheels either; 7-spoke wheels shouldn't exist.
My '78 Fairmont build - http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...539-78-Big-Red
Them anni wheels are sexy............but I think the boyds are a great look. You need to spray that lower rad support flat black so its not so noticable when you look straight at the front of anni. And degrease the under side of your hood..........then shes mad sexy!. Lol
Thanx guys.
Chad,
All within due time. 20th is due in my garage this next week.

Sneak peak of the exhaust tips. Dual exhaust, no mufflers off the cat.
