Annie and I hung and welded the exhaust Thursday night before I left the country. It took us a lot longer to install for some reason as I was having difficulty with getting the alignment just perfect. We use Gardner's system and he sends me extra long head pipes as I weld them to the muffler inlet similar to what was done at the factory using no clamps. They are not done exactly the same but pretty darn close. I wanted to cut and weld the alignment tabs on the rear outlet but due to all the problems I was having with the alignment I elected to move forward without them.

The second set of photos are of the original assembly line exhaust we took off the Chevelle during the disassembly.

The exhaust tips are original late 69 tips (without the rolled tips) which I had rechromed. I still need to dress up the inside of them but otherwise the turned out perfect thanks to out plater.
