So after hitting a big dip in the road and breaking off two collector bolts an shreading the flange and lip on the header ... I'm re doing the exhaust got some stock manifolds going to tuck exhaust up nice and tight to the frame. Have some idea of inierior colors and my buddy does intiereior work so preatty soon he'll start on the seats and door panels
 
So got the stock manifolds on, came out clean...next to get some wire seperaters to try and clean up the mess of wires.... And had to get the help involved you know for those hard to reach spots...

I think it changed the whole attitude of the car
 
The red rims are almost flamboyant. I think that with the chrome caps against the flat black, it creates a great contrast.
It's nice.
 
Flamboyant.... Lol

We like rat rods and well basically anything with a motor! It will have flat black paint once body works done, like the contrast too
