Re: New paint (Schmucker)
I'm just curious, but can you explain the exhaust? I saw that on some street rods and don't know the reasoning.

Re: New paint (76Frankenstein)
Thanks guys.
The paint shop is Orlandi's in San Rafael, CA, and I would not recommend them. Although its great now, it took them 4 repaints and 9 months. I don't know the cost because the insurance paid for it after I hit a deer. That was right before I moved to PA, which is why the work was done in CA (and probably why they put so little priority on it :mad).
Yeah, the mufflers are supertrapps. They're usually on motorcycles, but are made for cars also. They usually have no obvious exhaust hole. The air comes out from the sides through a bunch of disks which you can change to modify exhaust note and backpressure. I thought it looked odd like that, so I got covers with a hole in middle (disks are still there). They're basically straight pipes with some geometrical tricks to cancel some of the sound.
And yes, those are 84 wheels.
