Worst thing is you could probably get away with exhaust like that since it looks like an old musclecar :D

I could get away with it for a lil bit.... but I dont want to melt the carpet.... or well, ya know..............................suffocate :cry:

I will be there saturday, but I dont know if I will be bringing the car, I have not had enough driving time in traffic yet to know if it will overheat or not.
But I will definently be out at woodward during the week that week though when there is still a lot of cars driving around but it isn't really stopped traffic.

send me a pm and we could meet up down there if you want.

Honestly I have no idea what that is.... fill me in?
Sounds like it would be in chicago though, if I could find someone to ride with me I would head out there, just need to know when it is.

Went out for another cruise last night and visited my friend rob and his buddy.



Here are the hood closed pics some people have been waiting for!

IMO it looks EXCATLY the same as it did before the swap :)



Big Rob standing next to Grampa(olds 4.4.2. with N2O), and Me (Chris) standing next to my car in his buddies driveway.

Just noticed the tow hitch on it :rofl:

That thing is a sleeper from hell, don't spoil it with a flashy exhaust! Make a nice quiet, understated exhaust so you can ride in stealth :D

I agree a nice quiet exhaust is appropriate, and that is one fine sleeper. I love how well the back wheels worked out.



I want one now :(
