  • Tbrody 85 1C

    Well got some pictures today of the new 1C project, started with wheels, tires and exhaust. Spoiler is getting painted soon. Wheels are 17 x 8 Charcoal Bullitts with 235/45/17 Eagle F1 Assymetric Tires, nothing new here but I like the look.

    As for the exhaust had to replace the rusty chrome single 3" and Flowmaster attached to the stock downpipe and original cat???

    Started looking at threads and laying out a system I liked which will breathe a little better, have the stock dual tip look, and last, full 304SS including fasteners, flange and hangers.

    Went with the Merkur SS downpipe (thanks Chalky) chopped it off short adding a 3" braided flex pipe, 3" SS Magnaflow Cat in close to stock location, straight back to 3" offset in/out Borla Pro XS muffler. Reduced at the the outlet to 2.5" SS over the axle to a custom made dual SS tip (Thanks to NinjaBoy for the pattern). Still needs slash cut at the tip and a high polish. Will post more when it's done.

    Thanks to many of you for ideas and inputs.

      ??

      Just got done today, will hear it for the first time Fri. Hoping for the best path throught the muffler is pretty much straight through with a slight S turn, hoping for the best!!

          Exhaust Done and Fresh Taillights

          The exhaust is done with the dual 304SS tip. Finally got rid of the faded taillights with polished away striping for some decent charcoal ones. Freshly painted spoiler will go back on next, car just looks sick without the spoiler. Next up H&R springs!

              Hey Tom, the exhaust looks great! The tips came out pretty nice. Can't wait to see this one in person someday.

                Finally got done with the H&R springs, with Energy Suspension end links, many thanks to Raven and Pat in L.A. for their tips and helpfulness, the ride is great and handling is as good as original maybe better haven't pushed it yet, just gettin ready for the North Killar Rob. Viva la North!!

                  Fresh Bi-Wing

                  Got the faded spoiler painted with the PPG color code supplied on the site, the color and sheen turned out perfect looks like an SVO again thanks again for this site and everyone's passion for these cars! Next up Front Brakes complete, don't want to be stuck in Lexington with phenolic pistons. Should be good to go then.

                    Wow - very nice Tom. Your hard work has really shown. The ride height doesn't look much different from stock. How much drop?
