Started work on the interior, body color and Tamiya light grey from the can , and for the dash, since I ran out of paint while I was trying to get the dash painted, I had a bottle of MM purple pearl , so that is what I used to finish the dash with
and a sort of mock up
now, on to the chassis , since I am using the 396 with bigger headers, the stock exhaust pipe just wont cut it, so after some head scratching, and trying different exhaust pipes, this is what I think I am settling on, its the one of two that are very close in diameter to the headers, they are from the Impala SS kit, so still keeping it in the GM family
and a mock up, as you can see, for the most part, they fit it pretty darn good, the only issue, well one of them is the placement of the mufflers, sitting right on top on the trailing arms, so I am thinking about routing it to the sides
and here you can see how nice the 396 fills up the engine bay
