1967 Oldsmobile 442 Build

Playing a little catch up in sharing my build photos. I probably went about it the wrong way by adding to my picture library under my control panel. Just trying to keep my pictures in one area.

If you are interested, then try this link. I will keep adding pictures to it over the next few weeks.

If this is not the right way to do it, then please let me know. If you cannot access this link, then please let me know.

Jeff, I have a question for you. I see you installed your exhaust prior to putting your body on the frame. If you have put your body back on the frame did you run into any issues with the exhaust hitting the body. I am starting to put my frame back together and was going to install the exhaust before I install the body but wanted to make sure this was not an issue.
Thanks
Drew

No issues underneath hitting the body. I did have an issue at the rear. Although not hitting the body, I had to loosen the pipes at the mufflers because they were not aligned properly to the body under the rear bumper. Now, I did buy the kit from Gardner Exhaust. Advertised as exact fit for the 67 442. Perfect fit.

Something I did find underneath was with the new fuel lines. The tubing was sitting right on top of the RS pipe. I had to reach up and form them by hand to get good clearance.
