Exhausting

Most of the pieces of the exhaust came in. If quick measurements are correct, this can be installed and the body can still be lowered over the frame, so the rear portion was loosely hung onto the frame today. Putting this in with the body off the frame will be so much easier.

A photo of an original, unused muffler was used to black out the two mufflers just as the factory did. That's a detail that is normally missed, but being completely honest, it's not a favorite look.

This kit from Volunteer Vette is a nice one and once the engine and transmission are in place it should all install easily and look and function well.

There is a lot of room for adjustment to get it where it's supposed to be according to the assembly manual. That's a good thing because it's super tight underneath this deceptively tiny car.

The kit even included original-style clamps, which was a nice touch.

Restorers apparently call these guillotine-style clamps, since they only have one edge contacting the pipe. They don't seem to be something that are easy to come by and show clearly from beneath the car, so their being included was a pleasant surprise.
