ThriftyT Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Steam cleaned everything, mounted all the manifolds and heater lines. Set up some fuel lines. Exhaust is 90% done. What is done is painted. Need to finish exhaust, carb spacers/linkage one fuel line and a vacuum line. So close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThriftyT Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Finished the exhaust today. Turned out great thanks to the help of my buddy at Kell Kustom. Started on the carb linkage. Should be running in 2 days. Seriously cannot wait. Edited March 31, 2020 by ThriftyT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldSmith Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Did you have to tip your car on its side to get the exhaust in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThriftyT Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Welp.... I can’t fix it. How odd. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThriftyT Posted April 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 It’s Alive!!! Finished up the linkage, and buttoned up several other small pieces. She’s a bit loud. But will see where that ends up. Maybe some porters. Has a bit more pep. Super stoked. Lots of thanks to @Kellkustom. Did a lot of the work for me.

casper50 Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 I had cherry bombs on my split exhaust 47 Dodge. Too loud for me. Changed them to Turbo Tubes. Quieter but still has the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T120 Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) I kinda like the sound...Personally, much preferred to the sound of the "tuner cars" that are popular with the younger,drifting cowboys these days .?

Are the pipes flush with the lower X section of the frame or do the pipes sit lower? Reason Im asking is that my car, when airbags deflated, will sit on the frames X section and wondering if the pipes will fit without hitting the floor.

ThriftyT Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 They are below. Will have to open up the holes in the X member to run it thru. Very doable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe so. They are not stock. I did quite a bit of modifying to them. I actually want to find another good one, the 1st one is in tough shape. The face was crushed a bit. Got most of it out, but it’s rough looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
