exesivefire Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Revel cuda' donated its exhaust manifolds, flipped backwards. A bit of .100 rod and a cut up paint brush and we have an exhaust now. Paint is drying as we speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I tried the reversed headers idea few years ago using copper electrical wire. I couldn't make the joints as clean as you did so I went with the wrap. Which didn't last unfortunately. Yours is much nicer than what I ended up with.

The beauty of posing on the Internet, is I don't have to post all the tries that failed! Ha i think I got it on the 3rd attempt Edited September 30, 2015 by exesivefire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exesivefire Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Small update, made a driveshaft out of aluminum tubing and the ends from the 32. Also tweaked the exhaust down a bit to make room for the steering rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Got to the detailing on the engine tonight, glad that's almost over! My eyeballs hurt. started easy with some oil staining on the oil filter and plug then moved on to throttle linkage and fuel delivery.

exesivefire Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Thanks pat, oddly enough the engine detailing while being the most frustrating is my favorite part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenkocamaro Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Love this build! Thanks for sharing the in progress details. Pretty risky location for a radiator, did you put the electric fan on the underside, or did you not install it yet? Cheers,Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Haven't installed the fan yet. Nor have I committed to where it's going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
