more work on the exhaust, multiple slight bends, trying to keep it as close to the car as possible. Going from round to oval and then back to round.

i'm not sure how easy or hard it is going to be to attach the grannys 1st gen rear, thats why i am leaving it all up to my fabricator. Hopefully it is an easy install. I just need gslse rear brakes to finish it off.

I got the rear brake rotors today, and the exhaust is finally all welded up. All the work has been done by Tito Garrido and Joe Libby at Renown Racing. Still have to do the 3 link rear and cut the body for the fender flares
