Exhaust

Went with 3" stainless exhaust and a set of  MBRP mufflers. I heard them on a friends truck and like the nice deep throaty sound they have and they look real nice too.  

Installed a h pipe for some balance in the system.
The system is a little on the short side because of the rear suspension set up. Plan on exiting the exhaust out the side before the back wheels. Will wait till we have the rear suspension installed to finish up the exhaust. 

Hood Hinges


We used 1935-36 Ford trunk hinges for the smallest hood ever made for a COE. Located the new hinges where the stock tabs were and tucked them up in the firewall.

Chris fabricated the new inner hood structure to match up with the new hinges.  
A very nice fit after a little tweaking and some adjustments.
