I picked this thing up off a fella that read my want ad on craigslist. It came to me as a frame, front end, motor, and a few boxes of parts with a strange exhaust system thrown in for the heck of it. Keep in mind, I'm still in the shaping out phase so there are rough welds, tabs yet to be removed, etc.

This frame job is temporary. I need a ride and I need it relatively quickly so I'm doing a "quicky" on this frame. I've got another frame I'll be doing a more professional job on. As for those pipes, the look to be cobbled together. The header section is actually two pieces that slide together in front, they then go to a collector area then back again to a split then have some martini shaker type mufflers welded on...not very well either, but they look kinda cool.
