We shot this on Saturday.. notice the my red "loaner car" in the background :D

Yea, I didn't see him getting in.. I was like "WTF!" when she started reving.. lol

I was gonna do it in the engine bay but then I remembered the Fly-by-wire.

Exhaust tomorrow, alignment next, dynamat, finish wiring, install Wilwood brakes, interior and tune.

Goal is for the Del Mar Good Guys show...

[zbugger]

Looks great. That sounds like open headers. It is, isn't it? Also, is it baseline tuned? Or is that closer to final tune?

[BA.]

Holy crap that makes me all giddy inside like a little schoolgirl. :D

Sounds fantastic!

Speartech got it "in the ballpark". She will be chassis tuned to get the tune nailed.

Yep, open header. The new 3-inch exhaust goes on tomorrow.

CONGRATS!!! Looks and sounds GREAT!!:thumbsup:

[olds87]

That sick. :drool:

Are you getting any video of the car with the exhast on? What type mufflers is going in?

[Rybar]

Looks and sounds great Steve. :thumbsup: I'm also interested in what type of exhaust you plan on running.

[Steve1968LS2]

That sick. :drool:

14x9 Magnaflow and 3-inch tube with an x-pipe. Yea, will grab some vid.

The exhaust will be thermal coated like the headers.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh :thumbsup:

[MODO Innovations]

Sounds very healthy. I want to hear it through the mufflers too.

I can't wait to hear mine one day....... if they don't outlaw fossil fuels before I get it running.

[jimhamptons]

[Sales@Dutchboys]

I just LOVE that car. hmmm wonder how dark wheels would look on my car!!!lol

[almcbri]

Well done Steve!

The car is absolutely beautiful. It just looks soo stout. Straight to the point and very well detailed. good work. I look forward to seeing more

[awr68]

Very cool Steve, thanks for sharing!! We're not purests here at all but one thing I've always wondered about your car is why it has a round door mirror not the rectangle mirror usually found on '68's? Were the round mirrors used in early 68? Just curious and trying to learn...again bitchin car!!

Oh, and what are your plans for an e-brake?

[tyoneal]

14x9 Magnaflow and 3-inch tube with an x-pipe. Yea, will grab some vid.

The exhaust will be thermal coated like the headers.

Will they be routed out the side, or out back?

If you don't mind, give some specifics on how you plan to route it. I am also looking at a 3 link, but I haven't seen a rear exit exhaust on one yet.

Thanks,

Ty

Round were '67 I believe.. I'm not a purist, I just do what I like and the bowtie round mirror is almost iconic. I wan't all the exterior trim to be OEM stuff to give the factory look. The finished car will have the round mirror on both sides.

Straight back, very tight to the floor then up over the axle dumping by the rear quarters. three-inch all the way with a three-inch x pipe.

[slck6t9]

Way to go Steve!! Now we can't wait to see it on the road..

[Payton King]

I bet listening to it run makes your sticker peck out.

[JohnnyGMachine]

Awesome - Bad Penny lives up to her looks so far. Exhaust??!!!! You don't need that, perfectly streetable as is!!! LOL! I want to see vids posted of cruising and yamming on it!!! The wheel/tire and stance is dead on. I had a couple of the GMP guys huddled around the monitor playing the movie this morning. We thought - so THAT's what the 1968 Red Street Fighter would sound like....

Thanks for sharing,
John

You haven't seen that pic yet? There's a couple in the "projects" section thread on my car.
