Those tips look a lot like the ones I used on my 1966 Coronet

Your gonna like those rear tires. They hook real nice and last a long time. What mufflers did you go with Andy?

We used the muffler that fit. There isn't a lot of room for a full 3 inch exhaust under an A body car so there were not many choices. In fact, I think once we laid the whole system out there was only one muffler available that actually fit in the space. I considered cutting the floor to provide more space but the fabricator I was working with said he could make it work. The exhaust system did end up costing a pile of money since it took the fab guy two days and a big box of mandrel bends. But it fits and works and is tucked up out of the way which is what I wanted. I'm not a fan of exhaust systems that hang down below the car.

TTI makes a turnkey full 3 inch exhaust

Wow. Read the enitre thread. Nice work, Andy! Very cool and innovative. Damn nice build!

Thanks. Here is a start up video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2r4PVJXnSk&feature=youtu.be

The engine is running and I've done most of the tuning. Just need to get it road worthy so I can finish up the EFI tuning.

Yeah I wanted the exhaust tips coming out the back. It took some work to put a full 3 inch exhaust in there with the narrowed rear end but it all cleared. The key was the fuel cell in the trunk rather than a gas tank hanging down under the floor.

I'm not sure about running it on a chassis dyno. I've never had any luck running automatics on a chassis dyno. The numbers come out weird and it causes confusion. I think I'll just drive it on the street for a while to get comfortable with it and then take it to the track next summer for a few passes.

Did you make or buy those defrost vent block offs ?

Got the dash back from a local body shop. Guy I know there did a little research and came up with a formula for the suede finish on the dash paint.

Those do look nice!

Wow, that's actually pretty cool. Details like that can tend to get lost on race cars. Last summer I was at an auto body supply store for what seemed like hours trying to match the original Duracryl lacquer paint on my steering column and what we ultimately came up with wasn't even close. Do you know how they came up with the texture?
