    Thanks guys!
    My uncle worked his tail off on that car. He done a real good job and I am very very happy with it!

    Russ: yes fiberglass bumper........Ward finally got it to fit "fairly" decent.....Unlimited Products.........SUCKS!

    1badmav: I am thinking about painting the bezels, just not sure yet, I am going to wait until after the window tint and then make a decision.

    Thanks again guys!

    here is a pic of the exhaust. I went with a cheap set of Purple Hornies(glass packs) cause I like saying the name:D

    Seriously, I wanted a cheap exhaust, just enough to be legal. Some people like the sound(its different and it doesn't sound like every other car with Flowmasters) and some people did not like them. IMO when you have alot of ponies, it would sound good going through a coke can! Its still very loud:eek: But I will unbolt them when its race time!

    It was funny, when we was "cruising" through Somerset(before the battery died) my wife was in the car and she said......I THOUGHT YOU PUT MUFFLERS ON IT? and I said.......I DID :D

    Here is my favorite picture. This was taken after my Noah(my youngest) had spent about 1/2 hour cleaning the car!

    THANK YOU VIC!

    Did anyone else smell rice? With those mufflers you're running I swear I smelled rice.:D :D :D Just kidding John. The car definately has a different sound with glass packs. It was looking awfully killer that day! Don't forget the purple in the fuel! Cool shot with Noah, I think you may have to add a narrow back seat between the bars so your detail man can ride, way to go Noah!

    I forgot about the purple fragrance! Man that smelled gooooooooood!
    I told Becky that the next time we cruise, Noah should get the Co-pilots seat!
    I think he is into that car as much as I am!

    I have purple hornies on mine just exiting under the car like yours. I need to have an exhaust run. I'm curious how loud it would be running the pipes all the way out the back? Obviously ... under the car causes some reverb and probably makes them sound louder ...

    Thanks again guys, but it is still a ole race car and a CAMERA queen! Looks alot better in pics than in person.

    D, I will have some of those soon. I was goin' to wait until the round-up before I took it to the track, but I was outside today and it just seemed to be "calling me"......

    "Johnny.....lets go racing........lets go!"
    So, the car and I might be headed to the track real soon!
