well, Rat and I finally got another day to work on the vette. we had to solve the problem of what to do with the exhaust since the th400 bolted to the back of the engine takes up the whole tunnel width. we ran the 3" exhausts through the main frame rails.

redneck engineering at it's best.

I used big tubs and kept them as high as possible...that lets me keep the car low regardless of what size tires I have on it.
