motor looking insane i like the spoiler also, what is the spoiler off of?
The spoiler is off a '82-'92 Firebird I got from the wreckers. It has been modified a bit from stock tho, as I added a bit of height, and levelled it so it would sit right on the trunklid. The Firebird decklid sits a lot flatter, and the spoiler doesn't look quite right when swapped directly over.
 
Yeah, so now your out voted! Lol. If you have multiple threads, have an admin remove one and go off the other. Or just have him delete them all and start fresh. Would love to see some more of the fab work if you got pics.
You want pics???
Oh man, are you sure you know what you're asking for?
Lol
Yeah, I got LOTS of pics! They'll all go on the build thread referred to above.

awesome info i wonder how it would look on a monte hmmmmm lol
 
How did you run your exhaust through the quarter panel? Did you have to through the floor
 
Yes, that's exactly how it was done. When I first considered the idea, I was going to route the pipes thru the framerails and sleeve the frame for strength. On G bodies however, there is both body mounts and lower control arm mounting

That looks totally bad *ss as what I was thinking of doing too but what is keeping me is what about the added heat factor in the car. Is it going to be shielded, wrapped, and is the back seat going back in?

It's definitely going to be heat shielded. The rear passengers foot well area was cut out and new floor sections fabricated and welded in to create room for the mufflers, so the back seat is definitely not going back in. As far as heat protection is concerned, there's plenty of quality products on the market now... I was planning on wrapping the floor section in that area in heat reflective insulation, ceramic coating the entire system and possibly wrapping the "tailpipe" sections themselves in header wrap to further cut down on the radiant heat. As an added plus, the more heat that can be kept in the pipe, the faster the exhaust flow, and the better the power.

That is some (profanity) awesome fabrication to support a totally (profanity) new idea!
(How's your hearing holding up?)
