Wild Bill - I seem to remember you asking for a picture of my new exhaust in one of the other threads, but I can't find it, so I started a new one. Here they are.

Lookin good, Lane. I thought you said you got a sidewinder, wasn't sure. No center outlet? What dia. are the tubes?
Lane's garage cabinets look better than what I have in my kitchen }>(
It is a sidewinder, but Carey has to modify the muffler to get it to fit under the Beck's rear frame and bodywork. I skipped the center exit because I was certain it would drag on my driveway. I think the tubes are 1 5/8" but I'm not sure. Carey, can ya he'p a brutha out here? The header requires flanged heater boxes, so I have a nearly new set of regular boxes if anybody wants them.
I like the photo of your hubcap. I especially like the hub cap center emblem, it resembles you taking a photo of your hubcap
I kinda wondered who'd spot that ;-)
Erm... I was, of course, aimed at the shiny muffler behind the wheel.
Lane, what happened to the knock-offs? They looked nice. Who made them and how much did they cost?
Looks like you raised the rear a bit?
Will: I couldn't get them to stay tight, and they were a pain to remove when I needed to take a wheel off. I ran with chrome Mangles center caps for quite a while, but I liked the baby moons I saw on some cars, so I tried these. At $10 each it was a cheap experiment, and I like the looks. Below are some pictures of the hubcaps on Tom Raymond's IM that inspired me to try them on mine (check out DSC_455 from the pictures page for a higher res version). I thought for quite a while on a better way to get the look of Rudge wheels, but all of the solutions seemed to be a bit complex. Being a simple sort myself, I went the simple route. If you want some of the knock-offs, I think you can get 'em from most of the parts vendors, or order them from Carey at Special Edition. I don't remember what they cost, but I THINK it was around $100. I sold mine to a local fellow, or I'd bring 'em to Carlisle for you.
Bill: Yup. I've raised the rear about 1/2" and the front about 1" to help cure the "driveway dragging" problem.

Geez....in that second picture, my car looks like I've got "inner star washers" for wheels.....Maybe I should get a set of Moons, too? (I hate to feel like a second left shoe...)
