It's much easier to upload photos now, there's no need to upload them to another site and then grab the IMG code then copy the code and then paste it here. Just click the attach button, select the photos you want to upload and post as normal.

I've included a screen shot, feel free to delete this post.

I got the pipes finished yesterday. I had to take time with another project today so hopefully I will be able to hear what the engine sound like with a metal muff on the end.

FINALLY got around to making a lid for the bed.

Last weekend I went to Atlanta, and bought an 18ft sheet of 1/8" aluminum, which was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Of course while I was close to Atlanta I decided it wasn't that far to Summit racing where I could save myself $150 shipping on a roll bar for my Mustang project.

Man, was that a bad idea. Road work on I75 south made for bumper to bumper traffic all the way there, and back.

Anyway, I took cut the sheet up, and took the two pieces to a machine shop, and had them sheer the edges so that everything was nice, and straight.

So today I got around to cutting the holes for cooling of the turbo's, and the intercooler/ac condenser.

mtrain gotta say that I signed up for a profile on this website almost entirely to tell you that your B is rediculous. It inspired me to yank the engine out of my 84 and drop a 302 in it myself. Thanks for posting so much information on such a cool build.

Thank you.

Here is the finished bed lid. Anyone can do this for cheap. You will need to find some 1/8" thick aluminum.

A word about said paint, it works GREAT! All I had to do was lower the air pressure to my paint gun, and hold the gun about two feet away from the painting surface.

Here is the paint, oh, and no mixing with anything.

Here is the final results of the long awaited bed lid. Oh, and the cheap Ebay hold down locks for $19 worked better than the $100 locks I put on the hood a few years ago, in that the cheap lock are easy to close vs the $$$ locks than tend to bend back on themselves, and need a pick to un-jam them.

A few holes running on top of each muffler for cooling on the rear section of the bed lid.

Cooling vents for both turbos.

And a cooling hole for the ac condenser, and the intercooler.

Sorry Baha, but the pictures just aren't working out for me.

I hit the camera icon, and it takes forever for the pic to load, then it don't show the picture.

Also I just tried loading the pics in the above link one at a time, but I got an error message.

Can't we just change it back to the old way, or at least have an option of using the old link method.

Thanks.
