nice job on the mount -I had two made for a Richmond 5 speeds that curve like that to fit the original frame mounts out of square curved metal.
How much and how big a area do you have to raise the tunnel in front of the seat to clear the Tremec ?

Pulled the shift lever out of the tremec and pressed out the pin and then chopped it down and made it so it relocates the shift lever to where it would be on a T10
Added the rear support pieces to the top arm cross member. they take a bit of altering to get the to fit well
My nephew makes up the bracket for the front mount for the LH top arm. They are real nice
What is the story with these rear shock absorbers? can you get new gas shocks for them and re-use the springs etc?

I slid the mufflers onto the tail pipe and bolted the front end to the headers.
Getting ready to go fishing now but I can get you pics Saturday when I get back if you want.

Steve I used the hanger behind muffler with a V type bracket to hold the muffler and exhaust level. Two brackets coming down to pipe from original hanger bracket. The pipe from the collector to muffler is cut about 3” before muffler. I use a wide band clamp there. When uncapping headers I remove band clamp the remove collector bolts. Clear as mud I guess. 
Exhaust is upstairs I’ll try to get you a picture.
Steve... here are the ones I made up when I had the Jardines on my car.. I’ll see if have the part number for the cutouts I used..
Here’s what I did. There are only two behind muffler. One is a shadow.
I used a 2 1/2" mandrel bent U tube. Cut it in half at the bend to make 2 90° bends. The welded a flange on one end. It should be easy to add 
a straight pipe at the bend for a cut out.

One end bolts directly
on header and other slips on exhaust pipe. Worked good for me.

The car is looking great Steve
We are just coming out of lock down, slowly but surely
. I know you aren't running Stahl's, but this is what I
did with my exhaust for street/strip. I extended the 3 1/2" collectors with V clamps on the ends to unplug at the drags, reduced down to 3" X then down to 2 1/2" into large Flowmasters, works great, not to loud for the street either.
