Nice tape deck, lol!

hahah, right! The speakers are upgraded but the whole stereo sounds like crap anyhow without any bass. I might add a little 8" sub but we will see how much it gets driven around and how much I can hear anyhow... its going to be loud and with all the sound deadening gone.... oh well.

Yeah, the cardboard adds a nice little touch LOL!!!

In all seriousness - I like being able to see the tach without having a big monster tach sticking up. Just waiting on the gauge bezel from Florida 50.

Yum!

Sounds nasty.

Today is the day that I would say the build has finally come to an end. The car is driving and back together. Been such a long and emotional almost 3 years. The build is dedicated to the man who has taught me everything I know about cars so I wanted him to take the car out and be the first one to really give it some hell. Couple of 2/3rds throttle hits. Hope everyone has enjoyed!

What kind of exhaust you planning on running?

stainless 3" mandrel bend. X pipe to 3" dynomax race bullet mufflers, to Flowmaster 3" tail pipes. There is going to be a lot of massaging of those pipes to fit around that panhardbar.
