Ready for the road!

Drove the 41 to Lentz USA to have a new exhaust system installed on Tuesday.  They kept the car over night and finished the job on Wed.   The exhaust looks good and is much higher under the car this year.  Pipes are only 1 3/4" due to the tight area next to the engine where the pipes run side by side.  I don't expect any major performance loss with the smaller pipes since I'm not into maxing out the horsepower.   Here's a pic I took while the car was still on the rack.

Notice how the passenger side pipe is routed under the transmission and over the frame to crossmember arm.  This allows the pipes to tuck as close as possible to the floor.  The driver's side had to be routed under the arm due to the location of the master cylinder.  While the car was on the hoist, I was able to inspect everything.  Found a couple of minor brake line leaks that I was able to tighten the fittings today and correct. 
     Took care of several minor things today; rotated the steering column a bit to properly position the levers and applied some silicone to the hose carrying the rear wires thru the floor.  The one major project was removing the door weather stripping and installing new.  The doors fit much tighter now.
I received a replacement passenger wiper assembly last week from Owens Salvage in Texas.  UPS managed to mangle the box and break the lever off the tower.  Bob at Owens is a stand up guy.  He sent another one right away and it arrived today.  Turns out the UPS damage was a bit of a blessing as the replacement unit is in much nice shape that the first one.  The chrome on the first one was badly pitted while the replacement is very near the quality of what is on the car now.
     UPS also cost me 2 1/2 weeks waiting for a box of parts from Chevsofthe40s.com.  The replacement arrived yesterday and the new knobs look great on the wiper and heater/defroster controls.  Here's a more complete interior pic.

Also received the headlight rim gaskets and got them installed too.  Also connected the wire for the glove box light.  Tomorrow I'll install the side mirrors and attempt to program the speedometer before paying a visit to More Power.
