Where did you get the muffler (in the 2nd picture)? Brand?

Worked on fixing wiring issues and replacing questionable connections under the dash, in the engine compartment and front trunk. Wired up my H4s and relayed them. Boy, are they bright! Also started welding my hood props. I experienced the learning curve on this one. I guess it’s like making pancakes, the first one is usually written off. The second set will be better. Also, wired & relayed a switch for the fuel pump. I’m trying to fix the little things here and there so I feel like I’m making some progress.

I think y may have gone a bit overboard on the props for the hood, it doesn't look that heavy!

Haha! It’s all 20 gauge thickness even the tubing (I sourced from a lamp components supply co.). The props are very lightweight. I do tend to over-weld though!

It's a Flowmaster HP-2 muffler. Sorry for not responding sooner.

No worries, thx for the info.

Finally began the repair of the rot in the front trunk. I sourced a front nose panel and the interior panel immediately behind it (with the spare tire relief) from Germany.
I had to cut 4” up from the bottom of the front panel to get to the good metal. Need to cut the inner trunk panel next, lots of metal missing from that one…

Removed, cleaned and resealed/adjusted my steering box. Came out nice and it’s pretty smooth mechanically. Had to make a tool to remove the worm gear shaft end bearing adjuster cap. The 8mm drain/fill plug would not budge, so I welded a 17mm nut on it to gain more leverage. Added gear oil to it and it’s now ready for installation after I weld in the front patch panels.
