    How about Pipe Dream

    I would like to see the pipes with the grill on. Might not make the pipes look so overpowering. Nice work on the coupe.

    It looks like a great hot rod with a lot of cool features. Why do you want to bring attention to the headers when there are other things people should be looking at.
    I know what some women would say but you don't want to hear it :eek::(

    Until you lose the pipes it looks like a tractor puller. But if you keep them it would be because you lean more toward Ol Skool Rodz than HOP UP, correct?

    My first thought when I saw the pipes was of a lady with her legs up in the air......... so I'd name it "Hustler"

    and I like the pipes, they're different and noticeable. Just cuz they're not my style, doesn't mean I can't like em.

    Maybe you could cut the pipes loose at the flang and rotate then 90 degrees towards the door, maybe end up under the door somewhat.

    Jim you gotta drive it once with those pipes, they are so over the top!! You have done some great work on the car, looks killer, but the pipes are not to my taste. Still you gotta have fun with them, tearing up and down downtown spokane with that echoing off the buildings would be great fun.

    As for names "Mr. Wiskers".....but a cool name would be "The Villain"

    and If you change the headers we can get you a new name for the car.

    I think the car is killer.

    Yes, there were lame cars in the '50s too.

    All your coupe needs is some tasty pipes and it will be a tasty ride.

    After reading all of the coments I think I like the name" Wasted Metal" the best. As for the pipes, it seems like the come on and off easy enough. Maybe I will cut them shorter, and see how i like them. I am trying to keep them simple, like a real race car. If I run them through the holes in the frame it would just not make sence. I mean if you were at the drags and had to swap a motor between runs, I dont think you would want to wast the time of knitting them into the rails just to look cool. I want this car to look purpose built. Oh yea and I do plan on running it down the track. Maybe I will also make a set that exit under the doors or something.
