Yea Im just excited to be able to drive it again! Its a little loud right now because it has about 6 foot of pipe and the mufflers are not welded on yet but its not too much louder than it was with the single chambers dumped at the rear, just loud enough to get the neighbors attention!

another major setback. The car started smoking on the number 4 cylinder so I towed it to my shop in Pell City and pulled the motor and trans back out pulled the oil pan, cylinder head and number 4 piston to inspect and Im pretty sure I had a valve guide go bad. So I was going drop the cylinder head at the machine shop last week after work and start getting the new gaskets and stuff together when DISASTER STRUCK.
For those of you who don't know and have not seen pics Pell City was hit by a tornado and my shop got hit pretty hard here are some pics. |

Went to the body shop today and took a few pics. They are waiting for the new fender, and some other parts to come in but this is as it sits. It was the first time I have seen it without all of the gritty grimmy stuff all over it and every body panel is dinged and scratched so it looks like it will get a brand new paint job.
