Exhaust & acorn removal...

 

We found a store of acorns in the exhaust...forward of the mufflers!


Each side had some unique wooden (with metal sleeve) exhaust supports.  I believe they're original, but need to do some additional research.


Some muffler clamps we could remove...others we could not. Although the exhaust looks "silver" - it seems to have been painted over as it was quite rusty.  Note: ground strap on that driver side muffler clamp.

Rear driver-side clamp was using a piece of metal strapping vs. original fastener.

The rear-most exhaust extension was surprisingly original looking and not rusted at all.  Could that segment be original?  More research needed for those part #'s. Driver side.

Passenger side
