But for real those cut out spots are factory but I have the inner fender wells to cover them. I might just make something though. ---

Do not put these ideas in my head! Trust me for what the longtubes+cam cost I was really thinking of going turbo. I have always just been an NA+bottle kind of guy ☹ Maybe next year. ---

> [@NYstanger](#): > > Is there even room for a single or TT build as far as downpipe placement and header room? > > Also, whats estimated curb weight after its all said and done? Yeah a bunch of guys are doing single and TT builds on these. To be honest using truck manifolds flipped and home done fab work I bet it could be done at a very decent price. I just did not feel like going through the hassle. Weight is kind of unknown, I tried to cut weight anywhere I could but doubt I really did much so I am guessing around 2700lbs Edit- Today Pat, Jay and myself slaved on this thing all day and it just seemed like we couldn’t get anything done. ☹ Oil pressure gauge hooked up Rear calipers painted and new pads installed Door handles, headlight covers, and various weatherstripping pieces installed. LONG way to go ---

> [@clinzee](#): > > Looking real proper. Is there any way to do any kind of wire tuck on something like this? There is a ton of relays and wiring in the front that has been relocated and we are cleaning up what we can. I am sure with enough free time on our hands it could be done but I am just not that motivated right now lol. End result should be pretty nice though. But I am also trying to make this thing ready to go by April sometime. ---

Yeah this project has been two steps forward one step back the entire time. It is all the “small projects” that are KILLING me. Hell if I didn’t decide to change the interior and found that mess and go with a different exhaust the damn thing would be done. ☹ ---
