    The exhaust work looks sweet, Cid! :bowdown:

    Is that 3" (7.62cm) all the way?

    That wire is much too close to the header, and it will melt.

    be patient .. if you notice, even the pipes were still not welded ... we first do the assembly and put in place .. and then going to weld, adjustments, etc ...no worries :)

    Are you sure you really want to drive it? You might get some dirt on that spotless undercarriage. It's so clean underneath, it looks like you could flip it on its roof and eat off it!

    I am always in awe of the quality of the work being done here in this thread. Nice job!!

    I certainly want to drive it, but do not think I'll mess it ... to start, I did not installed the windshield wipers for me to not go out in the rain .. :16suspect(actually, I'll take the wipers in the trunk);)
    and I bought a new lift for her :rolleyes:

    now..the undercarriage is done! lets finish the interior :bouncy:

    I also have a good News.. :dance::dance::dance:

    I bought a real survivor :dance: 58.620 miles ,1 owner,zero rotten parts,incredible instrument panel,stock painting,zero bondo,shine trims,the alignment oh!the alignment !,the under dash is like brand new.and the floor shines up so perfect!.everything is there!!! completely stock and running well
