    I heard the same thing about the A-body arms, and we already talked of front skirts, we'll see what happens first with a little wheel offset. The back I'll be putting an f-body rear under there. Just trying to get the body mounts straightened out and everything level.

    Might be the super small skinny little tires that are under there.... they're just rollers, I've got some 16x7.5 steel rims and some wide whites that I'm gonna try on there.

    Like I said, we talked about the skirts. But I still need to play with the wheels first. The rear definitely needs to swapped out. Still a ways to go...

    But it'll be green that's for sure...

    Zman, I'm interested in learning about your custom headers. How did the final design come out? Is it a block hugger or an "up and over"? Did you try the T/A headers at all?

    If it's a clean design that others could get some use out of, you might want to contact T/A Performance and see if they have any interest in making them. There's a serious need for nailhead headers out there, and since you already did the leg work, they just might be interested in picking it up from you and doing a production run.

    I haven't made the headers yet, still got the mismatched manifolds on there. I was waiting to get the body on before I routed the headers. No block headers will work, nor will any of the T/A ones. They'll have to go up and back then down. I'll be having some issues with oil filter clearance as well. I'm already working on a remote oil filter setup that will be available to purchase. But now that the body is on I can actually get to work on some of it. Got to get it done soon so I can work on my 38 Buick this winter.
