How long did it take you to do the exhaust? That had to be a job! I also like how you handled the scoop.
Did you ever see the 1984 Indy Pace car? It was a ’84 Fiero with a forward facing air scoop. See:

The problem with it is you couldn’t see anything out the rear window. I think they did a limited production run on it because I remember seeing several around.

Jim,
I don't remember how long it took me to do the exhaust, but it was at least a couple of days. The welds are kind of ugly because that's the first job of that kind that I ever did. I'd give myself points for ambition but take some away for the details.
The biggest problem I've had is heat buildup in the engine compartment. I put the Challenger T/A hood scoop on it in an effort to give the heat a place to go but it wasn't enough. I also looked at the Indy Pace car scoops. I think I need to yank the scoops and just use lots and lots of venting in the rear deck.
