Hey man, they blow up with rotaries fairly easily. ---

Yeah I know but for the fact that the TII ones are about $200 and rebuildable I will probably just go that routs once I explode this one(which im sure will happen). I dont want to end up 40k into a car worth 20k like so many people do so I am trying to keep cost down where I can. Well until it gets on the road then if I REALLY like it then I will buy more goodies. Ordering some stainless 1 7/8" long tubes in the morning though. 🙂 ---

Observation #1 Where the fuck is my chrome hammer Observation #2 This sound deadening pwns my life Observation #3 This car pwns my life Observation #4 FML Thanks Breetime and IanK for the help last night. Ian has some pics whenever that elitist asshole thinks they are good enough he will post them. Last night we went through 25lbs of dry ice trying to get all of the sound deadening out of the car. We made good progress although it is still not done. I was going to rush the interior back in but I think we are now getting into a semi wire tuck and I am going to paint the entire interior. Nitrous install was started as well last night. I am both happy/sad about selling the exhaust as it is adding a good amount of work to my plate as well. To anyone looking to build a car this in depth beware that once into it you will find tons of mini projects/things that you “might as well” go ahead and do. This is what kills both your wallet, sanity, and free time. Oh and the car is painted and looks AMAZING(thanks choko) ---
