I've finally got the driveshaft and exhaust installed. Borla mufflers with 3 inch pipe. She sounds good.

Still waiting for a few parts before I can get her off the hoist.

Hey man, looks good!


You can still have it on the road before Christmas!!!


Was that a custom bent exhaust or a kit? Looks nice and clean.


Where do you have the pipes exiting? I had mine coming out right behind the rear wheel and with the tip just barely visible.

Thanks Bruce. I need the encouragement.

I'm hoping to have it on the road for the spring. Lots of unexpected issues keep presenting themselves. As for the exhaust, it's a kit I got from Jegs. Lined up pretty good. The tips poke out at the back under the quarter panel. I'll try and get a picture later this week.

Come on dude.....don't let the Maple Leafs win the Stanley cup before you get your car out on the road.
I'm a Leaf fan, but even I know that might be a while until that happens..LOL

Well it's been 50 years for the leafs. Given that they got another good coach with an eight year contract... I'll say, seven years. Ok, I'll get her done for the spring. LOL

I better not have my new motor done before you hit the streets......


Block should be done either today or next week, after it comes home it's going to the assembler's house to have some internal grinding/smoothing done.


I got a great deal on a Eagle 4.25" crank and H beam rods and possible a solid roller cam as well.


Better hurry up, the Leafs and I are coming after you....LOL

Going out today to hunt down a new rag joint. I'd like to throw in power steering while its in the shop but that might just wait until after the car is licensed. Still need a few things under the hood and dash. Still need the interior and rubber for the rims. I'm not freaking out just yet. It's progressing forward unlike the Leafs.

I'll keep you updated.
