Uhh made a cut-out

[Jess]

I've been wanting to do this for years and never in my imagination did I dream it could be executed so beautifully. It almost looks like the car was supposed to come that way.

you cant see if unless you're under the car...I think and it actually works perfect. Im still gonna clean up the welds and stuff and attach the throttle body on there a bit better but otherwise it's done.

The muffler is super restrictive b/c I wanted it to sound close to stock. This'll help a lot.

I need to refinish my wheels. I usually dont care so much about nice looking wheels but the powdercoating is pitted all to hell making them get dirty real fast and a serious pain to clean. So far I've done one wheel

DAYUM! That's some small exhaust pipe! I'm used to seeing 3" or larger, usually in twos.

Nice job on using the old TB though! I never would have thought of that, as well as using the manual choke cable to open it.

Can you reach it from the driver's seat?

[Jess]

yep i can reach it good. I was going to put it on the right side near the console but it interferes with the seat and I have to get under the steering column pretty often. But, that location works out pretty good and is out of the way of everything.

[VR4Rob]

Haha! That is awesome, great job on the cut out.

Have you tried a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on your wheels? They are awesome for cleaning lightly pitted metals.

[Jess]

naw havent tried that but those things aint cheap and I'd end up going through a half of one every time I cleaned the wheels, which according to my calculation would be about a whole one a year which is like $1

[Matt2105]

Umm...I would have just opted for an electric one, but hey, at least your creative!

Your welds look amazingly shitty lol. Must be tough upside down though.

Do you have to hold the cable to keep the blade open or will it hold itself?

Have you ever had a car with a choke???When you pull it did it stay???

[Jess]

That would be rather uncomfortable as well as dangerous and futile.

Actually, no I havent.
