Bob, nice car! I have a soft spot for 66' coupes but with yours it doesn't matter. Love the whole thing from motor to paint! From the pic's I couldn't tell how you finished the exhaust but it didn't look like GT Trumpets. 2 1/2" straight through the valance? That's my plan.

hey sprcoop. i want to install 21/2" pipe
i purchased the trumpet's they are 1 7/8"
seems like it will flow great until the exhaust gets to the tip,s then bang major traffic jam. i might end up cutting and adapting the tips for the 2 1/2 inch exhaust.. what did you do.

You mention that you have the original 8" and added 4:10 gears in it. Does it have a locker, or limited slip? What steps did you take to convert it from an open differential? Interested to see how it works out with the C-4.
