Cool "through back". Reminds me of the old days when customizers would use different brand parts. Grills, head light bezels, etc.. Nice! Bob

Installed the exhaust system and went with the mufflers under the rear bumper like a Corvette.

Great job. It has a George Barris look to it and that is a good thing. Put a 430 Lincoln motor in that thing with two 4 bbls and look out.
