65 Dodge A/FX build

[black64]

Got the AFX home yesterday after all the chassis work has been completed at my son's shop. Now on to the fun of getting the body work done by me. Hope to have the body done by spring.

Looks nice. I tried to PM you about the reverse light block off plates you were looking for but your box is full.

 

[RVW]

Rick, as usual, looking more & more awesome with every PIC you post! Wish i was still living in MI & didn’t retire down here to SC, so i could see it in ‘real life’. Ongoing ‘Congrats’! Scott

Now on to the SS headers and full exhaust

Now on to the SS headers and full exhaust

Are you building your own headers?

 

[RVW]

Are you building your own headers?

My son will be doing them with a complete ss exhaust system. Hopefully it will be a single exhaust. Stepped headers like this set

 

[Ironbuilt]

Forgive my ignorance, but why a single exhaust?

 

[RVW]

less weight than duals. Drag week car to lazy to take the full exhaust off. The headers will have a v band clamp and block off that will be able to be removed when making a pass. Hope to make it like the A 990 single exhaust with the transverse muffler but make out of 3/3 1/2pipe

What kind of times are you shooting for?
PS That's going to be the coolest Drag Week car EVER!!
