The car is completely stock looking except for twin tailpipes at the
original location. The hood fits fine. There was alittle
modification of the front crossmember for pulley clearance. Very
little cutting on the fire wall. The frame was rusted out so he cut
out the X frame and rebuilt the outer frame with 1/8" bar stock and
does not notice any frame flex.
