Man that made a huge difference!! -
Remade the v band clamp for the header, managed to get it a bit smaller. Also go the tip made from a piece of stainless tube.
-
Thanks guys

Ok so I decided to bite the bullet.. I needed to drill through the back of the frame. I took my time and it turned out well, so I remanded that tail pipe. I also made a band clamp for the connection between the header and the pipe. Still deciding on that, might try that one again. I'll make the tip when I get everything finalized.

Continuing on the exhaust. Finished up the header, decided to combine the two exits into one, seemed the easiest for what I have planned for the exhaust, using stainless wire that I polished, and turned a stainless muffler on the lathe. I had good success making the dump on my mustang out of stainless, so I decided to try and take it a step farther. It's hard to get the pretty colors that stainless turns with paint. I think this was the most convincing way. I'm not sure I like the exit yet, but I'm making progress. I will make a stainless tip when I decide where I want the final exit to be.

Thanks everyone. Your comments are appreciated -
This is off the charts for cool
-
Thanks guys I'm really happy with how this is progressing
-
Thank you. I'm picking up on it little by little
-
Ok being a perfectionist I decided to redo them after I had a better idea

what did you use for the rings around the exhaust? It looks awesome -
Another shot.. They are all just loose on there so don't mind the wonky one in the back
-
Drilling for the linkage was kinda meh... I need a jig of some sort. I did start the fuel rail though
-
thank you! I managed to get 6 to look alike, now to try and drill them for the linkage...

I ordered 6061 and 2024 aluminum. I haven't really done anything before. I used a lathe back in middle school. YouTube helped with basics though.

Test run for the throttle bodies. Need to pick up a number size larger bit for ease of assembly later (these had to be pressed in with a vice) Also going to make them a touch longer so I have room for a fuel rail and linkage
-
Got the fronts now, getting the hang of this. Really glad I got all the attachments and adjustable hand wheels. I think I'm ready to try and make the coil overs.
-
So maybe I won't be doing all black wheels after all..
-
Got a new toy today...
-
Yep, works pretty good I think

'69 GTO touring style [1/25] , , [Feb 14 update]

Love that! Great work with the wheels -
I always thought the 48 to look kinda odd, but entry now and then comes a build that makes me rethink that. This is one of those builds. Great looking model. Thanks for sharing
-
Hopefully this helps a bit.. The rears are a two piece 23 inch wheel from Pegasus, and the fronts are a ring trimmed off a 19. I trimmed the Acura wheels to slide in.

Got some primer on the header. First part in primer! Ha
