I mounted the new exhaust from Kepich yesterday, fits pretty well but the muffler is a few inches longer than the original so there is no room at the rear of the muffler to fit the original-style exhaust clamp/support assy. Not that my original was any good any more anyway, but I need to figure out some method to support the exhaust in that area as the next hanger is way at the rear. Right now it got the old baling wire treatment, which coincidentally was what had been holding up the pipes when I got this car. I have to make a little extender to attach my forward hanger (at the bellhousing) to reach to the tab welded onto the exhaust pipe but that's simple.

The car is quieter now when it runs, which was the idea along with replacing the old, crushed exhaust pipes and mouse house muffler. I wonder if mice get cancer from asbestos?

And I got my new road draft tube from David Grubbs (thanks!), it was in great condition so all I had to do was a quick blast and some paint and it's on.

Next is the new fuel tank and lines.
