'68 318 to carbed Magnum 5.2: Check my checklist
Got you beat. Today, I tried welding and installing my pipes in this evening...in the rain.
Of course, it was neither nighttime nor evening when I first started.
It looked promising enough in the early afternoon. Flanges went on nicely, welds couldn't have been better, and this is what I call one hell of a perfect fit seeing that I figured out all the bends on this redneck exhaust without ever lifting the car up an inch, and pretty much threaded it through the bottom of the car flawlessly:
Then I welded on a small extension to make up the gap at the muffler (you can see it in the first photo), and installed the left pipe.
Turns out I was a bit too well tucked in. The straight section of 2.5" pipe pulled up just a quarter inch from the floorpan. Not enough for my liking.
After cutting and fooling with the fit at the back, I put it back in - and this time, I angled it wrong. So I closed up for the evening. Grrrrrrrrr.
