Thanks, guys! Yeah, it was definitely motivating... then I looked at my bank account and remembered why it's still on jack stands, ha ha

I had some time and worked on mocking up my exhaust. With exception of my cut outs (these will locate at the first bend of the exhaust for a "Straight through" fit), I have it roughed out now, and next weekend will hopefully finish it up, paint it and loosely install it. I'm so glad I made those exhaust cut outs in my floor. they provided enough room for me to get the exhaust up and out of the way. I won't torque it down until after the drive shaft is in, and I have my drive shaft hoop built.

Thank you for asking. Yes, it went well. I had a lot of people checking it out, and complimenting the bare metal color. I think it was unanimously said to keep it that color. "don't paint it"... Of course, many folks didn't realize all the work that went into it. I had some boards nearby with a snap shot of my build showing what I did to it. Some people still didn't get it, ha ha.

They video taped me as well. However, I think this was more for them making a video of the event and using this to support that.

No exhaust update this weekend, I wasn't able to get the 309L welding wire I need for mixing SS and mild steel. So it's on order and I assembled my taillights. My electronics engineer buddy was building a set for me, but got lazy and ended up ordering a "Digi Tails" kit for me instead.

Oh my, time sure does fly by. Had a last minute trip to China (for work), and a bunch of other things come up. Not much progress on the 'bird. I was able to muster up getting my exhaust welding finished, painted and hung back under the car, as well as I made some front license plate brackets. Progress is progress....
