    Very nice! Out of curiosity, how many mandrel bends did you use to piece the exhaust together?

    the fronts are 5.50-16 firestones ribbed fronts
    the rears are 8.20-18 firestone groved rears

    they are orginal tires from the early 60's

    coker sells the front style in 5.00-15 and 5.00-16.they also sell the groved rears,but only in 8.20-15 and 8.90-16.coker tells me that they will have th 8.20-18 in early 2007

    hope this helps.

  17. Very nice hangers, well suited for an exhaust system that will grow and shrink with the heat like stainless is known for.

    The whole package is looking mighty fine man.

    i think i messed up two bends,and about 18" of tubing,but i can use those peices on the other ch***is when i build the exhaust on it.

    thanks all of you for the nice words on this project.i am so glad that it has inspired some people on their own projects.

    i'll post more when i can.

    we used to use rubber straps,but got tired of changing them once a year.from then on we started using teflon and stainless slider pins to allow the exhaust to move back and forth,during its heat cycle.

    you get an "A+" for knowing what they were designed for.
