The website certainly is a little hard to negotiate

Succinct, informative and helpful…thank you as always

Hi all Just getting to the engine installation bit of my early ‘62 OTS I’m keeping everything original and want an original exhaust for a 3.8 From what I hear (above) I think I need an original mild steel exhaust with the standard chromed resonators 3.8 length)? Questions: 1 I’m not quite clear why ...

Actually really east and fun to do oneself

I got a rad tech they will powder coat the sides and top and leave the core plain …I believe this I’m is more like the original finish

I’m working on it
