    Yep, 2.5" fully mandrel bent. I have them at somewhat of a weird angle, but that's how they fit best on my pieced together exhaust.

      Has the Tudor wandered back home? I thought you sold it?

      Do the Impala tails hang really low? I seem to remember a picture of them doing such.

      That is how you're supposed to jack it.

        The Tudor is "sold". Both I and the guy buying it want me to rebuild the front suspension, and do a little more work before it leaves for good. Who knows though, with my luck it will end up staying. It's the only car in the barn that actually can move under it's own power so no reason to tear it apart yet.

        I've had people say the exhaust on the car hung low but I never had any problems with it. You could tuck the pipes up high, but in my case they fit worse that way.

          Mine are actually up so far that they get bitchy at the inspection station. The tips do not stick below the bumper even with down-turns on them.

            I'm in the same boat too.
            Now that it's getting warmer out, (or at least in the 30s) work can resume on all the projects.

            It felt like this winter was never going to end.

                  It's supposed to snow here tonight, in Connecticut.

                  Goddamnit. A 88-91 Vic with that color is my dream box. It just looks so damn good.

                    Same here on Long Island. I can't believe it. I'm so done with the snow this year.

                          It was in the low 60's today, haven't seen temps like that in nearly half a year! Of course it's supposed to snow this weekend...

                          Anyways, got the frame pulled out today. Pretty much as far as I'll go for a while. Now I need to clean everything up and transfer it over to the 87 CP. Once that's done I can get back on this.

                          Nice rust free southern frame:




                          Safely deposited until I need it, I have plans for this frame, and they involve cutting the front up, and making a few modifications...



                          And what's left of the HPP Box:

                            Nice!

                            Now the question everyone's been looking for the answer for, how often do you actually get to use that pool? lol
