Dtret Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 That’s great. I think you should request the velocity stack for your car. That would be so cool(?). Lol. Great numbers 1 Quote

The exhaust system is 304 stainless steel. I have exhaust clamps for the tips. I just put them on for the picture and will wait until I get the body and rear bumper on before I fasten them on. 1 Quote

How is your motor coming along? Engine is complete and paid for. I am waiting on the carb restoration so it can be dyno’d (it’s been 9 weeks OMG). Still looking for body and paint person also. That been fun. Insurance work is where the money is at so they are not doing restorations 1 Quote

How it all started was me getting under the car with a flash light. After I looked at everything including bushings and all I was disgusted. That's what happens when you have OCD and are a perfectionist! It's a disease! 🤣 Quote

Rob Peters Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 You can email some of the pictures to me and I will post them for you. Like Mark (DragCat) said, you can try to resize them and they should post with no issues. You can shoot me some to my email address of rob29ford@aol.com rob 1 Quote
