Rinse and repeat. Driver's side. (note: exhaust tip delete: :))

Initial view from the back. I'm not patching anything else, as it is all hidden under the bumper anyway. Also gives me TONS of room for exhaust exits on the drivers side.




Once again, I'll finish it in the morning. Tomorrow the bumper can go back on until paint. Exciting!

:thumbsup: Haha! Will do! And I could even bring my composites skills to the table. Carbon body panels maybe? :)

It'd be nice to weld on some nice clean metal for a change, that's for sure. I'm tired of hodge podge stuff. It's embarrassing. Haha

And here's a link to some initial exhaust note stuff. For having a spectacularly awful restriction at one bend in the pipe, it still doesn't sound too bad. I'm excited to build a nice three inch exhaust for it. Really let it sing a bit.

Your work was excellent!

This is hardly comparable. It's all cobbed together. Yours was proper.

This is......650 bucks good. haha.



Edit: And just wait Vegito, if you liked what the exhaust sounded like at all in that video, you'll really like how it's going to sound once I finish the body work.

You should see the hole I found in the piping. Haha. I CAN'T WAIT to weld up some 3 inch pipe. Mmmmmmm.

Thanks guys, I am looking forward to seeing how this one turns out in color. The nice part is, the second the snow melts, I can drive this one. So I'm just making it safe and pretty-ish in the meantime.



Here's more from today. I'll head out after updating.

Once the primer is dry I'll toss the bumper back on. Here's the initial, not straight at all first coat.









That'll make me feel a million times better mentally. The rear was a big deal.... I'm glad most of it is behind me.

More to follow!
