Re: rocket sidepipes ..
Scott, no offense but take them off. They don't look right on that car. IMO

Re: rocket sidepipes ..
Not trying to speak for you, Scott, but it sounds like you have had it Day 2 for a while and just need to change the look. I had an original exhaust '69 SS that dumped straight down behind the wheelwells. Clean. Lately I've been doing the Gardener thing out the back. 6 of one, half dozen of the other, I like them both. And "FW" 15" rallies are cheap if you want stock appearing...my .02US...

Re: rocket sidepipes ..
Car looks beautiful. I would consider finding some Showtubes instead. There is nothing cooler than Showtubes.

Re: rocket sidepipes ..
Looks like another great car...I can dig the day 2 look as much as the next guy, but those sidepipes just ain't cuttin' it for me. If they've only been there since the 80's that isn't really "Day 2" anyhow, more like Day 4,065. Six the side pipes and put the right exhaust on it...Wheels too for that matter...The right exhaust, a nice set of Wide Treads and the original rallys and it'll look stunning. JMO of course..
