Exhaust

Well I couldn't get it quiet enough to drive on the street so i had to do some modifications to my machine gun exhaust....I cut the pipes off and welded them to some block hugger headers and ran a full exhaust system to the rear with some silver bullet mufflers and made machine gun tailpipes....I still retained the look but made it alot more public friendly to drive...I've put a 1000 miles on it so far and it's a blast...no painted car is this much fun...I've got a little interior work left to do next...pretty basic..I'll finish it right away as well.

Interior Upgrades

The interior was a little to Rattty so I made some panels and covered them in burlap. I made kick panels ,one for under the dash and one for the firewall to close everything in...I made a set of cup holders machine gun style and mounted a set of drivin speakers through and old cd player that's hid behind the seat...I had an old assassins flag that I glued to a thin piece of plywood for the headliner to finish things off....I would say it's done...just gunna drive the wheels off it and have some fun.

Nice OCC build! air brush murals, machine gun theme EVERYWHERE, fake exhaust and a show car to boot! It was a killer build up to that point with a ton of awesome fab work. but then again you are driving yours and I am not driving mine so I guess I am the lame one... Back to the shop!

Fantastic truck. I just read this entire thread and now I may get fired for not working but I will go with a smile on my face.
