The sound is a little off because my phone's microphone doesn't like the low frequency of my growl...

Headers, duals back through 2 low profile cats, into Magnaflows. Could not be happier!

While there will always be little things I tweak (don't we all?...waiting on a steering part right now) and she will be getting a new transmission next month, I think I can call the restomod "completed" (with the caveats above).

Pretty much a one year task, and a crazy expensive one - much love to the wife who tolerated all extra cash going to parts and a loan to cover the body work. Would not have happened without her love and support.

I love how she came out. The digital dash using Intellitronix is amazing, and the Parrot Smart infotainment system is supercool. I appreciate everyone who followed along, posted kind words and encouragement, and answered questions in the other "crap what do I do now?" threads!



















Cheers!
