Thread: 27 T tudor Hot Rod build

Tweet

Got a little bit of work done today.
The exhaust did not get into my hands until today which I was hopping I would get yesterday. I had to cut and weld the tubing until it sat above the bottom of the frame rail and into the cut out in the crossmember. Just managed to get the drivers side done today, the passenger side will be more work. Either I have to cut and weld a lot on the tubing because of the heat riser on the pass. manifold or I will bevel the manifold so the gasket will seal.
What I started with

After cutting and welding, might be a bit restrictive but it looks better than exhaust hanging down below the frame

Not a fan of glasspacks but they fit better than chambered mufflers

Finished the exhaust this evening. All I need to get the car running is a radiator, wiring harness, drive shaft, and to fab clutch & brake pedals and master cylinder mount. Still would be far from road worthy but it could be moved around under its own power. Just something to look forward to.
Please excuse the welds on the frame not being ground down yet. I should be able to get to it very soon after I fab some body mounts and get them welded onto the frame.

Cut slit to bend pipe, for some reason the exhaust tip was too far out.

Welded back up and ground back down.


Finished pipe with bend.

Back view of tips. As you can tell I have a lot of body work ahead of me.

Lastly an under car view.

Installed the fuel pump today. Had to trim almost every engine mount and pad on one side. At least now I can finish up the fuel line.
I know it is not much but I helped Dad on his 68 Camaro and was burnt out working on cars by the time I had some extra hours to waste.


Bottom of fuel pump. Picture is a bit blury but you can see where I had to trim the mount.
