Do you have enough room to get around the steering linkage? Nice looking setup.

He should, thats why it is only a 3" DP. He may need to tap a flat spot for clearance...

Your stick welding tubing together? Man your a braver man than I I stick to the TIG for most welds, and on some of the larger stuff that no one see's I'll use a MIG. I hope to do some stainless headers in a year or so. The mild steel ones I have now were the practice set

Hey, that looks great Jon!
It looks just like my setup, PT88 with 44mm WG and tubular headers, except I have a 3.5" DP and routed it on the passenger side...lots of room there, even for a 4" pipe!!

Thanks david!! I am trying to just get my car back up and running right now. Then I'll build my kit for my ride. The TT 67 loks good. Headers are done, and the owner is going to mockup up the DP's since he has the car.

Awesome! Any pics? I was going to do that, but this kit needs to retain the A/C, so thats why the DP is on the driver's side.

No worries bro

My personal kit will be like yours because I ditched the A/C as well.
