Hope to finish off some 185 70 14's after this thing runs.

Today saw a bit of progress, I am out of gas for the welder and prefer MIG over flux. I need all the help I can get. So today I split a 12" piece of 2.25 exhaust pipe. I will add a section of 1.25" flat to oval out a short run where it goes under the rear axle (normal on Volvo's) I just want it tucked up tight.
Monday I'll get gas, and a bigger tank (if I can afford it?) and get cracking on the oval tube experiment. Also added a bracket to steady the dip stick tube.
Cut up an old Explorer bracket. I need to loosen it some as it is it would probably pull out of the block if I gassed it. Gas it, that's funny. Starting to wonder if I will ever finish this thing. I actually grew a beard to remind myself I need to focus on completing this car. Been years since I have had a beard for more than a few days. Started in October. Hasn't really helped that much.
