    its got headers with an off road H-pipe with glass packs that exits in front of the rear wheels. i like the sound of it. i think no mufflers with side exits would be too loud. on a lighter note, GMGT is going in for boddy and paint this weekend!

      well, this is the last time you will see GMGT in this state. i finnished up what i could do like pull the carpet and seats, vinyl and pull out the rear glass so the quarter can be replaced. tomorrow morning GMGT goes to the shop and goes under the knife lol and yes i took pics before i parked it outside...







      little mod i did with the shift selector back drop






      ill try and take pics while work is in progress. i gots a rust free rear quarter and a header panel commin that my body guy ordered from states side so that is a bonus. i should be getting the car back in the first week of april or sooner.

            I see the front floor pans were rusty, was the carpet all wet when you pulled it out?

                  well its official lol i drove GMGT down the street from where all the work was taking place to its new home for the winter. the guy doing the work said he will start pealing the damaged rear quarter but wont get too much done in the next week or so since them holidays are here. i will be stopping in once in a while to check up on the progress. i will be helping to take the trunk lid and doors off and help to put em back on. and if your wondering, the paint will be base/clear and im going 100% with the light pewter met paint.

                    Man that car is coming along nicely. I can't wait to see it when it's all said and done. It's like I'm watching a movie, wondering how it's going to end. Good job so far man.

                      Welp if you believe this is a movie it is missing a hell of a lot of scenes. I kid I kid. I love the documentation thus far. And cannot wait to see it progress.
