I'd be done by now, except that I got sent an automatic headpipe instead of a 4 spd one...and the drivers side will not fit. But TTI is sending one and a return label so I have to give them a for great customer service. Onto the next projects: Wheels and the dash assembly. My box of goodies from Mike at from BEA should be here this afternoon....

Well the exhaust is 3/4 done, waiting for the correct pipe to get here and then I can tighten it all up. I also installed the new weatherstripping only to find out the trunk seal with was the wrong one and 2 feet too short. It was for a 70 Dart...waiting on that now too. Got my dash stuff from BEA. Mike is great to deal with! Dash pad fit good with minimal trimming around the studs,and I had to drill the 2 screw holes on the sides. I was little disappointed to see the grain on the pad wasn't same as the original (see the pic), but it looks and fits great nonetheless. I'll work on the bezel later. Decklid should be done by next week... Doesn't look like I'm going to make the show on the 29th with Duster.. But I should have it running by then

The pad fits great, probably a little stiffer/ les pliable than OE, IMO. My pad was definately the original, but its a minor detail really. I almost fillet'd my knee open working on the exhaust so I'm taking a break.. Heres a peak at the dash installed and the bezels in place. I'm gonna switch over to that probably and take a break from fighting with the exhaust. The new head pipe fits great,and I have return slip for the worng one so I have give a big to TTI's customer service. Back to work and then lunch.
