Another Build Thread - My '32

[J. Robinson]

Well, that was one hurdle. Now I have another one - the exhaust system doesn't want to fit! I lost Tuesday to other obligations. Wednesday morning I took my wife for a medical appointment. That afternoon I started re-assembling the exhaust pipes. The first section from the header collectors to the cutouts went right into place as they should. The next section fought me, then the mufflers and tailpipes simply refused ro go where they were before. They are both hitting in two or three places! I finally just walked away from it rather than start beating it to death with a big hammer... I built the pipes on this chassis with this engine, same headers, same mounts, same everything. All I did was blow it apart and paint everything and now the exhaust doesn't fit! I'm beginning to wonder if the Hot Rod Gods don't want me to build this car. Everything I have tried to do to it this past week has been a fight. Anyway, I have stayed on other projects for a couple of days - I'll try again tomorrow.
