That turned out NICE!
I like the rear mount set up - definitely makes for a nice stable, easily adjustable set up that way! And have to say - those side pipes ROCK! They look right at home on there and the flat white paint on them brings back fond memories!
A friend of mine who had a bright red '72 RS Camaro that ran a destroked 327 with headers into "flat white" painted side pipes (without heat shields - so it was great for burning your calves if you weren't careful getting out!)
That car ran WAAAAY stronger than it had any right to and had a high winding sound alllll it's own - can still remember the sound like it was yesterday! :D

Yeah - when I saw that, I thought it was a slick idea! A LOT of adjustability there! :D

I had planned to "remove" that section on the body - but I just may have to rethink that now!

Thanks for sharing! :D

Jeremy - Oh WOW! That is awesomeness right there. Almost better than bacon! Great chassis and paintwork. I LOVE the pipes and was wondering how you'd hide the chassis and now I know.

Can I steal the pics for my site?
