Thanks all. Just working on a few small things right now. With the spacer i'am running right now under the throttle body, it made the geometry all wrong for the throttle cable and the pedal was hard when you first pushed on it which made for a jerky start. Didn't want to weld on my bracket and make a permanent change, so I used uni-strut nuts to raise the bracket.

I was waiting for the squealing brakes off camera lol. Good to have a long drive/launch pad. Sounded like open headers. You have exhaust yet? All these burn out videos makes me want to do one. Hopefully parts won't fly off when I do

Dash looks great. The more gauges the better.

ignition coil was hitting the air filter housing so it had to be moved. made a new bracket and mounted it to the fender well. Not sure if it is going to stay here, but it will do for now.

One of the rear tail pipe mounts was rusted so I made a new piece for it. Cut the old one off and will reuse the rubber piece.

Exhaust is done and I love the way it sounds. So I was quoted a price of 450, but by the time I made a few changes it was 600 out the door. More than I wanted to spend, but it came out nice. Not sure how most exhaust is done but this is all tig welded. He made a 3 inch Y pipe from headers to muffler. Muffler is a knockoff stainless Magnaflow with 2 outlets. 2 1/4 inch pipes out the muffler that come out behind both tires tires.

Three inch Y pipe, It can be unbolted at the muffler if the transfer and trans need to come out.
