Last big update for today - Exhaust system.
I went with Flowmaster mufflers and 3" Stainless pipe. A great guy here that owns a Meineke LOVES to do custom exhaust work and has done 100s of older cars and hot rods. He spent about 6 hours on it 2 weeks ago. The sound is AMAZING. Pretty loud, like I wanted. I also used 18 " double walled stainless tips.
While there, he had an old school headlight aiming machine, so we did that and a front end alignment. I was 1/2 a degree off from when I did the alignment by hand in my garage. Rather proud of that.
So, 2 weeks ago was its inaugural drive - after I had exhaust and mufflers.
To get it to the exhaust shop, I had to load it on a trailer - at 545 am on a Saturday. So, imagine 450 HP, open headers, a wet trailer ramp, me doing this alone and having to back it onto a uhaul car hauler in the dark. It took 5 attempts and I woke ALL the neighbors.
Oh, but that tested the 4 wheel low range!
