      Getting closer...

      My car is finally getting closer, Kyle sent me these pictures. I hope to have it back by this weekend!! The motor is done, custom stainless headers/exhaust is done/coated, and everything is going in today. They had to raise the transmission tunnel inorder to get the correct driveline angle. These guys really do a great job, pictures, phone calls every step of the way..

      Nice! Looks like instead of massaging the tunnel to fit, they cut the top off and made a new top?

      Yes, I guess it must have taken more than just "massaging". Here's what it looks like with the top cut off..

      Looks great! The jet-hot coating looks great on the custom headers and i like the way they did the trans tunnel

      I'm impressed! Well worth the wait! the only thing is, I have always wondered about nothicng the exhaust like that, seems like that would severely limit the size of the pipe, looks like it is almost notched half way? They did the same thing on Sick Fish. So did they coat the entire exhaust? Also what kind of valve covers are those?

      Love the dumped exhaut at the end, IMO that is the best look for Camaros, less Z-28 like.

      Better idea, sell me a 73 TA and let me send it to them for the DSE treatment

      Your approach to muscle cars is top-notch. Looking forward to the end result.

      It's not as severe as it looks. They coated the headers and mufflers, the piping is all stainless. I don't know about the valve covers, Kyle picked those up..

      thanks for all the comments guys,

      very nice work, I kind of like the raw look of the stainless instead of coating. Either or looks awesome.
