Why ? They were never painted with the car :2cents:

I mean the piece that's welded to to under seat floor pan. Shouldn't there be 2 welded brackets for dual exhaust the pictures in page 4 only show the passenger side installed.

70-71 challengers came with one bracket welded on for a single exhaust cars and  they added the bolt on for dual exhaust  later...  :thumbsup:

Beautiful work!! I hope mine turns out the same. You give me inspiration to keep going, such a lot of work involved, I've realized.
Must be great to be at the paint stage.
