Buford T Justice -- the full tour

[Beagle]

purty! Should save you a lot of money when you think about it.

[Deaf Bob]

Needs a big mirror that folds down so the exhaust and shaft can be seen when you park ...

[Dan Barlow]

Could you maybe shoot a layer of clear over it to keep it from rusting?

[andy30thz]

Figgin AWESOME!!! Again, much like the beautiful trans crossmember work...almost too nice for the car!!! And you even went all high-tech and put a crossover in the exhaust!!!
You must be READY for some street and dyno thrashing! Just in time too! Didn't you say the strip opens this weekend....?

Don't let the chumptrucks totally derail you!!! You've got Buford prioooriteee's damnit!!

It is 6061 aluminum with aluminum Sonnax yokes. I am running that story next week.

Here's the exhaust install -

How about a Lexan floor? The underside is looking MUCH better than the topside!

[Brian Lohnes]

Dan you are right about that!!!

#*@(*& Dang "Reply to Thread" button got me.

and started doing some math as it seemed I would be doing four arms worth of work with my standard issue two arms.

Good job Brian, looks good. I had to cut mine twice to fit proper and the sharpie should be part of the required tools. My cuts weren't as straight as a band saw though, 4.5" makita cutting wheel FTW!

[Brian Lohnes]

I got it close with the hack saw, but that nice finish cut from the bandsaw was key!

[TheSilverBuick]

You made good work of that bandsaw cut! Work of art!








I strategically hid my exhaust welds

[Brian Lohnes]

If you look at the photo that shows the exhaust bolted to the header you can see some marker stripes to the right of the welded area. After I made my first pass, I took the pipe into my father in law's basement and in a dark room, I shined a flashlight into it while blocking the other end. Anywhere that light peeked out, we marked with a stripe and I ran over it again to plug the holes.

[Scott Liggett]

Someone needs to buy Brian a Sawzall for his birthday.

[Mr4Speed]

A hacksaw? How barbaric!

[Brian Lohnes]

It was good exercise.

Scott, I have a Sawzall. I just like to make uneven cuts slowly and painfully rather than quickly.
