September 2021 I started to build bumpermounts.

Image

In October I finally got some new parts that I didn't want to build myself from sheetmetal.. :D

Image
Image

Also got a pair of used exhausts that will become one 2-in-2-out sport exhaust...

Yesterday I took me some time on the garage and got the left side done. Decided to fix that first as it was more work.

Took some feelgood photos while I had it rolled out too.

Yesterday I welded the right side too.
Not as pretty transition to the wing as I didn't want to replace the overlap lip on this side. But it will be covered with lead later anyways. :wink:
