I am getting ready to leave on a motor home trip for a month, but the car will not sit with nothing being done. The guys at Mannix Automotive, next door to my shop, are going to design and build the exhaust system. They have the tooling to do mandrel bending and all types of welding, with argon gas for welding stainless.
To give them some guidelines, I mounted the rear body support framework, then added the rear body panel. With that in place, I made a jig that would identify the position of the exhaust tips. In mocking this up, I decided that 4 inch tips would look the best, and the position was laid out and located via the framework.
Steve, from Mannix, looked it over and we discussed the routing of the pipes to leave some room for the shifter cables. Had to get all of the questions answered before I leave in a few days.
