Default Re: BIG REDS 67 Fastback build thread.

yesterday With all of the parts finally in I pulled the car out of the back room and over to the main shop to throw it up on the lift to modify the headers and make a new midpipe from scratch. I started at 5PM and did not finish until just after 3AM, it made for a long day but well worth it in the end. The primarys are 1 3/4" into 3" collectors to a 2.5" midpipe, it should wake it up a great deal from the stock 1967 ford non hi po manifolds and 2" midpipe. Big thanks to my friend alex for the extra set of hands and my buddy matt for TIGing them up tonight.



final product(tacked welded by myself but tigged by matt)







I even let the GF out of the kitchen to help out

got the car buttoned up tonight. Got the wideband working like a charm and the car running good.

sound clip here:




and made new spark plug wires with 90deg ends to replace the multi angle ones that were touching the header.

had to make an account to say this, you ruined the car. the front end looks horrible and the wheels are pretty awful too. if it wasn't for those things this would be a beautiful car.

I couldn't disagree more. I think the wheels and front and are perfect. They are perfect for the car.

Keep up the good work
