Gardner Exhaust
I opted for a Gardner Exhaust. Very happy with fitment and ease of install.

Fuel Line Setup
I was gonna throw out there that I can offer a correct functional fuel pump, elbow and line setup if anyone is interested. I had to take the fuel pump and properly machine it to accept the 90 deg brass elbow. I made a custom line from several original 66l78 pictures I had been given. I then had a company cnc bend my template. Turned out very nice. Please PM if your interested in a setup, or just the line.
Before I get caught, yes I took the Towanda sticker off as 66 didnt get them!

UNLESS there was a SW ratio adapter on the different transmissions wouldn't the trans more closely relate to the rear end ratio's given the different driven gears in the trans for the speedo? Or were the driven gears changed according to the rear gears in the car?

The end of Metal Work
It looks pretty ugly, but all rot has been removed and all panels replaced with used GM metal, next step is to acid the body panels and sand blast the rest. Sadly I thought I was done, but as you will see in a few pictured down the line I tried shrinking some dents on the roof with some heat and that just turned into a massive oil canning mess

Underside Blasted and Primed
I ended up blasting in June. I about died doing the job in the heat.

Last Min Roof Change
Like I said earlier I destroyed the orig roof. This was a donor roof from a Buick that was a rust free Arizona car. Cant ever match original metal and how it fits.

Body Work Complete
These pictures represent a few hundred hours of block sanding and just sanding in general. Panels have been guide coated. Body seams have been seam sealed. Time for edging and chassis black paint now.
