Hey boggers, you are building one heck of a truck man, no matter where you live. But especially impressive that it's in Austria. Just about building it to show quality, it looks like. Then undercarriage would be nicer than most cars at the neighborhood level shows, for sure. I think you are going to be just fine with the exhaust. You've got good diameter tubing, especially considering its a 305. Glad to see you ran it all the way out the back. Personally I like that better, and I think it cuts down on the droning. Sounds like you may have got your shock situation figured out. Only thing I thought of was if all those shims on the control arm pushed it out too far. Good luck, keep us updated, this is fun to watch.
