pics are coming... our friends are due to have a baby here in a day or so, so i need to get the camera before then or ill never get it. lol.

got the exhaust done back to the axle, 2 1/4 inch pipe to the muffler... ill have the pros bend the rest of the 2 1/2 inch pipe to clear the axle once its plated. also took out the headliner this morning. any one got any good cheap ideas on a replacement or ways to make it look decent without a head liner.

The headliner is super easy to re attach new material to. Check the how 2 section.

You didn't destroy the board did you.

I was thinking of doing that to mine before I got it recovered, not to leave it that way, but just to strengthen it, the existing piece is pretty flimsy.  After all the bending and tweeking I did to get it installed after I recovered it I wished I had fiberglassed it first.

not really sure. i was gonna leave the color but the boss(girlfriend/fiancee) dont like the beige. though black and leave the copper color on the plastic... but black gets so hot in the summer. i do think it would look good though.
