Dude that is just twilight zone weird!

Looks good and I hope you enjoyed making the exhasut headers. TOughest part for me was merging/collectors.

'update'

heres some progress of what ive been working on. i did the collectors and merged them together. it took a little bit to make them but i think they came out good. the collecter hung down to low so i had to cut some of the floor board out and reshape it so it wouldn't hang so low. when i did this i test fitted the petals to see it they would fit but they didn't fit on the lefthand side of the car :disappoin , so i decided to make it a right hand drive :naughty: . i think it came out pretty good for my first time trying it :) . still have some more clean up to do to it. tell me what you guys think of it so far. :smile:

The exhaust looks great, keep us posted on the progress!!

Thanks for all the comments! Well i have some bad news. i was heating up some stuff on my work bench and the rear suspension was near by :banghead: and before i knew it the suspension started to melt. :banghead: So i will have to put a hold on this project until i can find anthor kit, so i can take the rear suspension out of it and put it on this one :disappoin i will try to get some picks of it this weekend to show you guys what happened. So expect to see a new project from me or one of my older ones that i started a long time ago in the next day or two.
