Projects Building My First Roadster in San Francisco

Oh yeah! Perfect for that car....got those myself.

 

Check your PM’s

 

Nice @J.Ukrop

What's with the color in the lower right corner

 

That splotch has been there for a while if ya take a close look at the photos.

That gas cap looks 100x better with the gasket great call! I’ve been digging through my cap stash making a plan for my A and this adds some fuel to that process!

your exhaust isn’t really to many bends. Once you get the car on the road and it’s been cooked into solid form for a while and you decide you want solid pipe just order a cheap kit of bends and an afternoon welding at the bike shop ( realizing that could be several places you frequent but any of them would work) and you’ll be done!

Another option is to take the bent section and bring it to your local hot rod exhaust shop and just have them bend the complex section for you. It’s often a lot cheaper than you’d expect it to be.


Lovin it man your close!

- clarification, local hot rod exhaust shop is not meaning a hot rod shop that does exhaust. I find that no matter where I go there is a standard bent on the spot, built or repaired on the car on a lift daily driver exhaust shop who has a boss who loves old cars and is “the guy” for your normal standard exhaust put on an old car. None of this $1500 quote and they refuse to do anything short of polished stainless tig welded sculptures.

we are talking you bring $120 and your own mufflers and go get a sandwich and come back in an hour shop.

 

Joey used flex tube on version 1 with that nice little bracket as a rear support. On my banger, I run dual Porter's with flex behind the mufflers to a similar bracket inspired by Joey. I'm pretty sure he wants to run the flex. Sorry Joey if I'm presuming.

 

His second sentence in the post says he’s going to have them done professionally in the future. That’s why I made the post.

edit: I’m in no way opposed the flex pipe exhaust on a car like this btw.
