Saturday I ground the fiberglass down on the floor till it started to rain then inside to work on the exhaust. I welded the flanges onto the headers and the mufflers. I'm using V-band clamps so it can all be taken apart in sections if repairs ever have to be made to the car. I did some practicing before I welded on anything. They aren't the prettiest welds but they wont leak that's for sure. I flap wheeled them smooth so they look less hideous...LOL Then on Sunday it was still raining here so I did some more work on the exhaust. What do you guy's think is a good minimum for ground clearance? I'm at about 5" now. Hell after all this it's staying at 5"!
The wife is so cute. "Why don't you just run it straight (flat) out the back?" I told her because that would be too easy and personally I think it looks like crap not tucked up. Besides if it's too low it will get hung up on things like that racoon you hit at 2AM coming home from that long trip. I still have to clean the welds up a bit and hit them with high temp paint so they don't rust. Because it is going to be modular I may have it ceramic coated some day during a long winter. I'm hoping this weekend is going to be nice so I can finish up the floor. One step closer I suppose.






I know it says 7-1/2" but its on 2-1/2" wheel dollies. It hangs a little lower than my wishbone mounts (about 1-1/4"). I don't think it will be an issue.
