Havnt updated for a while,
The 1641 is almost done. There has actually a little more progress since these pics, the fan housing has been mounted, the ignition coil was mounted, I gotta get some heater boxes from a friend this weekend then I can pull the J pipes and put the breast plate on.



not really a fan of the exhaust but it works for now, and sounds awesome!

powder coat both racks cream to match the wheels. Maybe run some red line tires might look cool with the cream and be diffrent. I think it would look good with the blue patina on the car too but that just my O/P. You going back black with your carpet?
