Had a bear of a time getting the lower rear tube to fit right but she's in 1/4" territory and will be ground to fit perfect at a later date. Added top cross bar and lower crossbar.

Speaking of eBay also just made an offer on these and they accepted for $119 shipped!

Look at this on eBay:

why not use stock manifolds?
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

they are heavy and in no way point to a use full place.  stock LS Truck manfolds are actually pretty good in flow design, but they tend to point right where you want your feet.

How the shocks will be mounted, he has 14"s to, so yours should be about right.

I dont know how he got his motor where it is, looks hard to work on.

half the price would be because you have to spin them in the drill press with an air grinder to take off a few thou so they fit and function in the 380 head
