Ok, so maybe not under it's own power just yet, but it made it outside for a little sunshine. After reaching a good break point today, I rolled my car outside to finally get a look at that GT silver in the sun. I must say, it's inspiring to see it in the light of day. Now just a little more wrenching and it goes out under it's own power!

I took a couple shots of the muffler for those who requested more info.
The first shot shows the addition to the rear of the muff. It's a piece of 3 1/2" tube slit down the middle to create a 18" length of clam shell to weld onto the original muffler body. I cut away the area of the original muffler where the clam shell mates, adding back to the area I had to remove to clear the tranny. This shot shows the chunk I had to remove on the backside for clearance. I left a decent amount of space between muff and tranny, hopefully enough not to cook the tranny? also in this pic is the muffler mount. I used an original 914 muff mount and cut and welded two extra muffler flanges I ordered to it. This created an independant mount so if I play with different mufflers later I won't have to re-fab a mount. |
