Got a start on the exhaust system. The pipes came from the '32 roadster kit (black w/flames). The pipes were glued together just under the rear end housing and a hole was drilled to locate the pipes during mockup. The gas tank required some work to clear the pipes as needed. After the tank mods, the rear end was mounted to make sure things were fitting. Some tape was put on the inside of the body and the pipes were trimmed to fit against the body to see were it needs to get  holes for the tips too come through.

Still thinking about the exit at the rear. In the meantime, there is work to be done on the rest of the system. Till next time.......................

I'm loving this build!

Everything gets figured out as you go along.

That's how I do it, even IF I plan ahead, LOL 

Can't wait to see more progress on this one!

Cheers.

Yup. Sometimes they just build themselves. 🥴

Man, I always tell myself that I need to build everything before painting like Dennis Lacey but I can never do it. Usually its figuring it out along the way, but my current build looks like i should be able to do all the scratch building before paint. The figuring it out along the way seams to go well for you most of the time though.

My only plan is to build something different than the 500 way's every other builder already has. So I do alot of scratch building.

Got the exhaust done except for the exit out the rear. All the suspension parts are in place to check everything. The gas tank and shocks are not shown. Thats about it at this point. Maybe a this and that to finish things out. Looks like things can get some primer soon.

@Kit Karson, I did it. I drilled the holes, but I can't show it yet.

Lots of cool & interesting stuff going on here.

I'm really curious about that rear end. Is that a quick change grafted onto a Ford 9"?
