It's been awhile and the 53 has been on the road for a bit now but I figured I would post some pics now that its painted.

I made mine out of 1x2 tubing. Mine kicks up at a 45 then is flat back to the rear of the body. Ive seen alot of people doing it cleaner by making...
Looks kind of like a mid size metric clip (Malibu) but its hard to tell from the pics.
Try Bendtsens Speed gems. They have posted on their website that they are looking for Cragar adapters. They may not want to buy it but I'm sure...
Oh sorry maybe I should put it where my back seat goes and put the filler neck out the quarter window. Then I could put some huge z's in the frame...
