Exhaust Cutout?
 

Which exhaust cutout did you go with for the flapper?

It is this part:

Looks like Holley stopped selling the service replacement part. These are actually made by Helical in the UK and the motor is made by Küster, in Germany.

Josh at HotRod Express is doing a great job with this exhaust system.

My friend Tom is coming for a visit for a few days on Wednesday and I hope the car can come home on Thursday or Friday.

Here are some more progress pictures of the exhaust. It looks like Josh has finished with the exhaust welding and is working on the lower, front corners of the gas tank.

The tank is getting finished. I like that he was able to keep the vents at the top front corners.

I have a bunch of peel and stick heat shield left over from doing the firewall. I will cut some sections out of that for the tank corners.

The exhaust and the gas tank are done. Here are the final pictures:

Rick from Hotrod Express also delivered the car to me this morning. Big thanks to my friend Tom, who came out to visit me. He helped to clean up and organize the garage so that I have a fighting chance of having the car drivable to LS Fest in September.
