Well, the project is now underway. rear bumper and muffler are removed and welding has commensed. But it's not installed yet, so no sound clips are available yet. But thought I would post a few more pictures for your viewing pleasure.

the first pictures with the pieces are wrong. those are 18" glass packs and I switched them out for 12" glass packs instead. Sizing miscalculation. I can't wait.

Be prepared to wear earplugs and have a bottle of excedrin on you at all times, for the brain-compressing droning that will ensue.

ok, it's on. drove it at 9:30 tonight after putting it back together. sounds great over 3k revs. but yes, there is that dreadfull drone between 2k and 3k. more modifications to come. the engineer in my father is working overtime on why it's there and how to stop it.
as far as clips, i will have to borrow the equipment from someone to record it, so it may take a while. pictures will be up tomorrow.

Yeah, I'll work on that. Don't think towing a trailer is going to help the handling. I have a pretty smart old man who loves a challenge like this. I'll keep you guys posted.
