Ya' know what Tyrone? I don't comment on your builds nearly enough. I've watched from your first builds to the ebay sales to present and you always amaze. You plan and execute as though it is a prototype for the real deal.

I guess since the NNL, I have a new appreciation for all types of drag carz and not just my vintage funnies. I don't even have a problem with it being an off-brand that isn't MOPAR. (Didn't have time to build a Zinger, so I thought I'd just throw one in there.) :lol:

Carry on Man, carry on.

Making a little progress I think... I tried out these headers.. they are from the LX Mustang kit.. I know the tubes look a little small but I think once they are painted, they will be hardly seen anyways I may wrap them with some tape.... I dont want to make these if I can help it... there's not gonna be a lot of room it seems.. any opinions comments welcome...

The tube might be a little small but good point about them being buried and barely seen. It looks mighty fine though so don't worry man. Where were ya thinking of putting the turbos?

Wow Ty the doors look an fit nice! I like the pin type for poping off!i just cant them to line up right! Or the pin an door tubes to line up an drop in!, very nice stang

Oh Ty! I have takin a straw like from Wendys! And black heat shrink and extended the collector on the headers! The heat shrink wraps the straw too to the header tight, just an idea..

Tyrone, in the real world smaller primary tubes help spool up the exhaust impeller quicker because they create velocity. Tubes look fine.

What's up fellas.. I got a little mock up done tonight on the turbos to try and see how the plumbing is gonna go...openings in grille still need some work..... thanks for looking and comments welcome....

Such a cool idea using the existing stang fog lamp holes for turbo inlets. Looks like you'll have plenty of fun bending the tubing for the intercooler tubes and the exhaust. Awesome work as always, can't wait to see more!
