Put some pics up of samples of your work, plus installation shots.

If you need some practice, I volunteer to have a turbo or two squeezed into mine.

Actually, I was thinking the other day. I think it was corvettes that used to have side pipes that kind of blended into the rocker panels. I was thinking it would be awesome to cut off the last 6-8" of rocker panel in front of the rear tire and have a side pipe exit there on 4th gen F-bodies.

Edit: Almost like this but better

Edit 2: Mix that idea with this http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-...8/87copper.jpg

turbo kits for LS swapped second gen F bodies. Theres a million of them out there waiting to be repowered. If you do it, I'm in for one.
