Exhaust and Gauges

The pictures at right show some of the mockup's I have done so far. As you can see, I even turned some 2 1/2" wooden dowels to use in the process. The one that I think will be used is the one where I cut two 90 degree elbows and made a 2 inch jog in the pipe to clear the brake booster. It's just tack welded so far with a little more fine tuning to do before I complete the welding.
My new Autometer gauges showed up today. The Speedometer has a tachometer at the bottom of the gauge which saved me from installing a separate one. The dash gauge plate is a polished aluminum billet insert made by Boese Engineering out of Tempe Arizona. It will be a while before this all gets wired in but I got the fuel sending unit with the fuel gauge and now I can install it and finish up the fuel tank.
Back to the exhaust.

  1. Interesting how getting car parts in the mail can make a person so happy ?

  2. Be careful with those dashboard parts. If they fail, they can deploy the airbag and break your imaginary nose (and piss of your son-in-laws real wife).

  3. I've obviously been hacked by your least-favorite son-in-law!
