We relocated the master cylinder to the center of car to allow room for the custom exhaust to run through the frame instead of under it. Then the brake pedal was hand fabricated out of chromoly and utilizes uerathane bushings for a smooth action.
Custom built 2" headers with V-Band clamps on the collectors. Completely hand fabricated oval exhaust system. The bends on the exhaust pipe were actually smaller diameter pipe, cut in half and widened. We custom made exhaust flanges for both sides of the mufflers to work with the oval exhaust pipe. Then the entire system was ceramic coated by Jet-Hot Coatings. The exhaust hangers were custom built just for this vehicle, made from 3/4" billet aluminum.
We also fabricated stainless steel tie down points for when the car is on a trailer. We also ran the full brake system on this car with all stainless steel lines and fittings. Some hand fabricated brackets and billet hangers make everything clean, functional and unique. We ran the fuel system with all stainless steel line and fittings, also with custom made brackets and hangers from stainless steel and aluminum. The body bushings on this car are a combination of rubber and custom turned and polished aluminum.
This is a truly beautiful work of art. The flawless paint and body work was done by John's Auto Body, who is turning out some of the hottest customs and restorations in the Midwest.
