    Wow! I thought my side pipes were wonky!

    I found this clip of a really lumpy 427, but check out the passenger side pipe.

    I’m not sure whether the pipes are supposed to be a distraction so that you don’t notice the license plate or vice-versa. Either way

    Ugh!

    It took my buddy Darrell & yours truly about eight (8) hours to get my headers mocked up so that pipes looked proper.
    Man am I glad we spent the time to do it to the best of our abilities.
    I Am Definitely Glad We Did What We Did!

    WOW! My CDO (used to be OCD but that’s not in the right alphabetical order) wouldn’t let that happen. Something would have got cut off and welded back at a shop to make that fit and look correct.

    It's that sort of thing that gives replicas a bad name...
