Dany's race car adventure, or help us spend my last $1500 wisely!!

If you buy the TTi's, buy the raw steel. Then. If there are any fitment problems you won't mess up the ceramic coating. Though It'll be hot under the hood.
Then in the spring send them out to be coated by a someone who knows what they are doing. It's been a while, but there were a lot of complaints about their ceramic coat jobs. I don't know if Cudachick does this or not.
If there is a slip joint on # 7 put neverseeze on both pipes so you can get it apart later. And do it again after you get them coated. For TTI's Be sure to get on their site and get their motor location figures, to prevent your steering linkage from rubbing holes in your hedders, if's the not correct. Motor height and side to side.
TTI use to offer a chrome finish. I made the mistake of getting it.
My hedders look pretty darn good for being over 9 years old.
