Don,Too nice to drive, almost.
Interesting routing of the exhaust over the frame, how close is it to the gas tank? Does your fuel line go through the tunnel?
Don
Exhaust is not close to fuel tank at all. Look at first pic and you can see the fuel line attached to the body next to drivers inner rocker.
Nope, put it on my trailer, it goes in for front end alignment Wednesday.Looks great Dan!!So... Did you drive it home from the exhaust shop??
Tommy,
We have a local guy here that does exhaust, he retired last November but still has his shop and now only takes on jobs he wants. He has all the old bending cards so this exhaust is to factory spec and includes the grounding strap on the passenger head pipe clamp to floor brace...
Thanks Skip.A+ Dan.
......love it Dan..........
Yes

Gav's right.And where's the video to prove it Dan!
Be great to hear it running.

Congrats Dan, I bet you had a big smile.
No videos and I didn't even take any pictures. Between the exhaust guy and another freind the car has been out of my possession for 31 days. I had to reschedule the front end alignment 5 times but finally got it back Wednesday night and had it scheduled for front end alignment 9:00 am Thursday. Still didn't have the hood on but rounded up some of my buddies yesterday afternoon and got it on. Still need to install wing windows door glass and door panels.
That first drive makes it all worth it. Kim and I took it to the local drive in after dinner for ice cream cones...

Dan,
As big of a car as the 60 is, do you feel cramped in it? I do in mine. There is no head room compared to the 61. When I drive my 60 I feel like my head is about touching the headliner. And, the floor pans don't drop down like the 61 causing your legs to stick straight out which enhances the cramped feeling.
But I do like them though. Mine is in the upholstery shop now having that white piping corrected.
