Re: '59 4x4 Build

Progress pics. Got the exhaust system welded up and installed. The X pipe was a little tricky, but I think it will clear the drive shaft. I don't have a rear drive shaft yet, so I was spit-balling it a little. I used a straight edge and calculated that I would get 4" of rear compression travel before the shaft would touch the X pipe. If I find it does touch, I'll pull the aft section of the exhaust system and reconfigure it to raise it up a little. Mufflers are from a 86-88 Corvette L-98, been sitting in the garage for twenty years waiting for a purpose.

Raining now, which is why I'm here and not working on it.
