Ol school snake charmer!
That flows nicely! Will they get stainless inserts to match the grill and dash?

He's not done yet...
Looks awesome!! So what is the plan for the cut outs? Lever operated vent doors??? That would be pretty sweet....

Stainless, yes, though not exactly vents....
Good eye - yes, that's a reject from the Black Rat, just sittin' there, I've got something else for this engine.
Sooo, I've been busy making these stainless megaphone sidepipes that emerge from the hoodsides. Made from a section of 4"ss pipe, a 4" U-bend and a 3" U-bend, I welded a piece of 1/4" rod to the tip to give it a rolled edge look, also shaped it to a teardrop shape to match the headlights and tail lights. They mount to the head of the engine and will be functional - I have 3" electric cutouts that will mount to the header collectors and will route a 3" pipe up to the sidepipes. To finish the edge of the opening, I took a hammer and dolly and rolled it in a bit.
Just for tuning purposes of course [ddd. Not that I like to occasionally listen to an unmuffled big block....

Oh freakin' WOW! Big and black....maybe so, a repeat of the Caddy....no way! This is gonna be the wildest Packard on the planet! If we don't get a video of that thing blasting past your house with the cutouts open I'm gonna be seriously disappointed!

I believe Mr. Farm committed a typo and meant to say:

With one feature you changed this car from a nearly stock-appearing rod to a wild custom! That's going to be awesome!
Flipper_1938
He recycles the right way
How hard is it going to be to route the exhaust all the way up there?

That pipe looks good. But, it sure would look cool to have 4 on each side .

The pipes have always been in the plan, I've just been holding my cards close
It's going to be a real pain in the scrote, but I'll make it happen somehow.... [S

Is that the "more is better" theory ?

I've got a ton of those. And they never leave my mind. Someone can be talking to me (like the wife) and I'll be nodding along, but I'm really thinking about how to tackle build issues.
