Thread: Followed Me Home II

I've been working on the exhaust using 2.5" steel and Summit's house Cherry Bomb's. I ordered a "Universal Kit" with 4 each of U bend, 45's, 90's and straight 4' long. So far I've cut about 8" off of one of the straight pipes, and the rest has been cutting up bends! I may be ordering a few more bends to get from the mufflers out the back! It's a tortuous path running big pipe on a small chassis! Sure is easy to burn through 18 gauge exhaust tube!

Both sides cheat in kind of close to the transmission, but I can easily add a heat shield if it proves to be a problem. I think it's going to be fine.

After I redid my steering column drop I bolted the dash back in place and thankfully before cutting holes I determined that using the billet gauge cluster that I had, putting the tach and speedo centered above the steering wheel wasn't going to work. The steel for the drop sits too high, cheating into the space behind the dash where the gauges would be, so had to look for another approach. Today the BBT dropped this one, putting the big gauges center dash, smaller to the sides which will work fine. Done! One billet aluminum(Dolphin?) gauge cluster added to the spare parts pile.

Gonna finish the exhaust from mufflers back, then run the fuel line and drill the frame to mount the gas tank. Having the tank hanging in back may not be the best from a safety standpoint, but I like the old school look, and it's a heavy poly tank as opposed to stamped steel, which I believe helps. Anyway, I'm enjoying the build again. Thanks for checking in.
