Here are some more pictures of the exhaust. You can see all of the extra 'kinks' which Eric did in the exhaust to get the bends/angles just right. And he got a lot of Tig practice this week.
I also like how he set up the band flanges to create a 'positive' locating flange at each joint. But having the 1 pipe stick out about 1/8" and the other pipe recessed about 1/8", when you install the band clamps, everything will stay nicely aligned.
In the meantime, I wired up the trunk of the car the other night. Took me about 4 hours to get everything right, but I made all of the connections to the AAW wiring kit, and I also installed a fuel pump cutoff switch to stop the pump in case of an impact. I got my butt-splicing and shrink-wrapping practice in.
Tomorrow I'll get back to the interior wiring...
