The undercarriage is painted in DP74, which is what they were from the factory. It is somewhere right in between red and orange.
I hope to hit some shows this year.

Sweet
Complete system. The "hot" side is ceramic coated in Black, while we will be doing the "cold" side in silver powder. The exhaust is 3" with Magnaflow mufflers.

Tom - Looking real good!! I don't think there is much more challenging than running exhaust on an x-frame car and your pulling 3" pipes. Glutton for a punishment. When you get to the point of running the exhaust over the rearend, please post some pics. I am interested in seeing how you decide to do that.

I've got a bunch of pics of the underside of the Chicayne.

plenty of pics of the exhaust routing, should be very helpful if you are interested.
exhaust pics start on page 6
Thanks for the pics!
We decided to run turn downs just before the body pinchweld in front of the rear tire. They tuck up very well and you cannot even see them from the side of the car. The rear Air bag system is different than what I have, and there is really no way we can run the pipes inboard of the frame rails.
I am working on getting another set of Intro's with more outward offset, at that point, we will see if we can "sneak" the tailpipes between the rear tire and air bag.

Tom - I am running an ART set-up as well and can not figure a way to go inboard either. There stuff is extremely nice and that is the only drawback. It does make it nice though for the guy who wants to leave his stock exhaust. I think I am going to take the car to my exhaust shop and tell him to get it over at any expense and then order wheels and take my loss there. I love everything you are doing on the '59 and I'll drop some pics of the exhaust soon.
tbair - You are correct on the Chevy Talk crowd. Great group of very knowledgeable people. I would love to have bowtieollie in the corner of my garage when a problem arises, but they are very hardcore. 15" rally wheels is going over the edge for them. There is nothing wrong with that, you just have to watch your step.
syborg tt - Thanks as well for the pics. I am with Tom on the suspension issues but I did pick up a few tips from those pics. For that I am thankful.
I am back to work now, Mark
