Stewart,

Lookin' good!

FYI, the D-side trunk hinge pivot pin on my 55 Pat sheared one day while opening the trunk. I got the trunk lid closed and when I got home in the garage, I replaced the pin with a Grade 8 bolt of the appropriate size. You might look at yours for wear.

WRT the muffler hanger, I thought that they had a flex joint in them to prevent engine exhaust vibration from transmitting to the chassis.
