    Looks great Tom I wouldn’t change a thing …
    But I have to ask,  :thinkerg:
    Can you move the mufflers around to be in front of the axel so we can’t see it poking out from under the roll pan\ valance?  :dunno:
    Or find a round muffler perhaps to fit up tight in there?

    Just a thought …
     Oh and where is the video of the burn out and donuts?  :burnout:

    I knew that would come up.LOL  I was thinking of this exhaust as something to get the car moving for a while, I would eventually like to step some things up later when time and $$$ allows.  I am thinking of blacking out the muffs anyways with some High Heat Black.

    You should see the jerrry rig I worked out for the KD.LOL  I got a cable on order for a 727, don't know if it will work on the 904.  So I got the linkage in there now.LOL  Seems like it gives proper actuation, won't know until I road test it.

    Man, I am soooooo jealous.  More inspiration to get mine done.   :worshippy  :wow:

    First thing to do when you sit down at the computer after mounting your hood and getting some pics: update your sig picture.   :ylsuper:

    ThAnks Greg, I'm looking forward to seeing your project progress.  Without this site I wouldn't have attempted even half of what I did.LOL  Now way I would have touched the steering box/coupler repair/Painting/Stripes/etc.  The resources/pictures have been invaluable to me.  I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed here. :cheers:

    Tom

    Still got some stuff to do for sure, but I'll make itthrough the summer now.LOL  The headliner is sagging a bit, that really scares me....

    Hi Tom,

    Just saw the videos, sounds good!  :thumbsup:  :grinyes:

    I wonder if you can temporarily put some short Autozone glasspacks in place of those mufflers with downspouts?  Would make it sound real mean and would hide the mufflers a bit!

    I'm gonna stick with these for a while, they actually sound real good.

    I went for a 45min cruise tonight, drove nice.  The roads were a bit rough on me though.LOL  Need an alignment, the wheel is off center now.  I guess from the steering box?

    Anyways, plenty of tq on hand, rolling up the on-ramp 30mph to the freeway I gave it some juice and left 30' of rubber from both tires :burnout:  I backed off on it so I could get some traction.LOL


    Tom

    Got the hood on with the help of my wife.  I had marked the hinges with a scribe before I took them off a while back so pretty much lined up in 5-10 minutes. 

    I had to paint the hinges last night, because I had forgotten to prep them when I shot the bay in the winter.  I scratched more paint in the bay putting the hinges in than when I put the engine exhaust etc in... :banghead:  Nothing I can't touch up a bit though.LOL

    I think I can use a Air grabber seal for this hood and Aircleaner set-up.  he A/Cnr is centered nicely in the scoop opening and the seal for the Airgrabber  mounts to the hood.

    Tom

    What say the masters? :dunno:

    Maybe Hemiken has some  :picture: of the Airgrabber installed.

    I might be able to use a carb spacer if needed, I sill got some clearance in there.

    I wish I had a 422 in place of my 360. 

    That car is looking great.  :2thumbs:

    Hi Tom,

    Sounds like you need more of a base plate from an A12 69 1/2 Super bee or Road runner buddy. :2thumbs:
