Thanks for the good comments guys.
Yea bart, Those pipes draw a mixed emotion. Kinda like a VW, Either 
you like em or you dont. Im still thinkin bout runnin regular type 
exhaust since I couldnt get the pipes that stays rust free, but Im 
still undecided.
The cage is a 4 pointer, custom made from Jegs hi performance. With 
my size a 6 pointer is uncomfortable. The fuell cell is a 16 gallon 
Harwood(I believe)and the filler is at the rear by the hatch. I ran 
a full set of Russell braided line and it has a Holley blue pump.
The tires are Mickey Thompson 18.5 X 31's, so the rear of mine is 
way unusable.
Id have real fun if I could get the Damn charging problem worked 
out. Alternator is good, new starter solonoid and battery is 
charged, but when I take the cable off it dies! ????????
Anyway, I'll post some odds and ends later. Cya, Rod
