GET ERRR DUN!!!!!
GET ERRR DUN!!!!!
got good progress done on the exhaust today...it's going easier than I thought....
I've decided on 2 1/4" pipe all the way back and ending the pipe with a cherrybomb Turbo II muffler under diff route....sounded great on a test fitting....but now everything is getting welded up...even though my welding is a little rusty...it's still doing the job. I got about 3 more welds, then to clean up the seams on everything and paint with some hih temp paint to prevent what corrosion that may happen.
Then tommorrow after the wife doctors appointment, I can jump on this, finish the full exhaust system, re-connect the oil cooler, and plug the oil sender in...re-wire the A/F meter and see where I'm at for everything.

Doing some more work on the exhaust....no sleep again today...but I want to get it done before the rain comes or the heat starts up again...so I kicked my ass out of the comp chair and finished the exhaust up.....did the last welds yesterday, and today is the fitting of the hangers and stuff.....and I even surprize my self...hehe...it fits I won't know what it sounds like till later tonight, when I finish cleaning up the other carb, and connect everthing back up....hopefully though..if the weather stays comfortable for the next few hours...then it might be road worthy 
Anyway's....I'm waiting for paint to dry, so I thought I would load a few pics....
Oh...and the paint is for the rough NorthEast crap on the roads...and I hate rust, so I only want to make this once....so the paint should keep the rust away for a long time. Plus the curved tip after the tiny muffler is removeable...hehe..the whole system is removeable with the turn of 4 nuts and a flick of a rubber exhaust band...just one...hehe, plus it swings nice with out hitting anything like the axle and body...but I will need to get some stiff ass springs to keep that swing to a minimum...hehe
