    I thought my exhaust guy did a pretty good job.:clap:

    looks good. I need to get my exhaust redone where it goes over the axle. My 9 inch housing hits the pipes.

    BTW: Hows that sweet gas cap look on your car? I was the other guy bidding on it but didn't go too high since I knew you were a board member. I am surprised how cheap it went compared to the other same ones.

    One thing I had done when I put my exhaust on was to put those flair type joints (like the late model Mustangs use) just behind the mufflers. That way if I ever have to pull the transmission, I just have to undo the collectors and those flair connections and drop the whole center section of the exhaust system out from under the car and out of the way.

    I will have to say I like what you did with the scoops and finishing the blue on out the back of the hood. Looks good.

    Thx Guys, she is a labor of love to say the least...Mav Grabber I like them ovals too...look really good...man I bet I could shave in that bumper...lol.... I'll be glad when mines done and when I get my front bumper...YO CHUCK:D
    Mines a 70 model so there was no fuel line hassle...my exhaust guy had 2 Mustang pipe "templates" so to speak...he bent mine just like those and the fit was perfect:clap:

    He left me a notch on the hangers so If I want to notch my roll pan and bring them up it wont be any problem.

    '72 2d to hold my trailer down with.
    I recently did mine in 3" and getting over the axle wasn't so bad, but getting around the fuel line required going through the spring and back.
    I'm not happy with it and I think I'm going to try again maybe with 2 1/2
