Thanks for asking Tony, it should be 100% assembled in a couple of weeks with pictures to follow. It has been a very long road, and am grateful for all the camaraderie from both the purists and the day 2 guys. It wont have the exhaust note of a motor boat, but one from FORDS finest, from back in the day.

Thanks Dave to you as well, cant wait to actually have a car to show worthy of some pictures. 1971 until the present is a long time to finally be whole again. Then to fine tune the combo for that 177 mph runs. :)

For some finishing touches... What color is the bottom Dust/ flywheel cover, on a 67 4 speed?

I wanted to post some pics and talked to my computer privy friends and their statement was, that is the longest most difficult process they had ever heard of to post pictures. I dont know, there are some things I let more knowledgeable people look at for me. The more advanced computer folks say it should be a 1-2 send process, have a few watching the whole process to see if it can be made easier for those of us that have difficulty with modern things! Thanks from the few... that need a little simpler process for these things.- :-[

Thanks for this thread and updates on your car !

Not to side track this, but are you referring to posting a photo on the forum ? It was a one step process to attach an image to a

 post, others have given  instructions to post through the gallery, but I and others agree there are too many steps. there are a

 couple of threads concerning  the "upload folder is full"  thing,  the problem has been  with us since the end of February, Patience

 is a virtue, I guess  ::)

Does anyone know if someone is making an accurate reproduction of the original or close in appearance exhaust tips for the 67s that are using larger tubing like 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 as always grateful for the help.

As far as I know you have to make them yourself. I did some about 15 years ago and it wasn't that hard .Of course you use a original to go by. I gave the dimensions to the muffler shop and they swedged the pipe down from 3 inch to 2 1/2 . That is not a drastic reduction. They cut the angle and I took the pipe to the chromer.

427heaven. Our cars have been Sleeping for nearly the same amount of time. Since 1971 for me. Into the exhaust shop on Wednesday. 3 inch all the way with Shelby like tips. We'll see how it comes out. Will try to share photos.
