    Absolutely stunning work. Very educational just following the photos.

    That should really have regular nuts (yellow zinc) and black lock washers.

    Looks awesome guys!

    But there is one thing I learned when I was working for a company that made looms that I would like to mention though.
    Beware of soldering on looms, the first thing I learned was never to do that, especialy on a car.
    The solder will deteriorate and crumble over time and in the end it will cause malfunctions, the vibrations of a car will only speed up that process.
    I always use crimping connectors, that is the only way to know for sure it stays well connected.

    Anyway, just my 2 cents, carry on with the good stuff. :)

    Not there and actually I do know.

    Stainless was used on the heat shielding, not the cooler duct.

    Is that muffler dirty or is it supposed to look like that?

    It is the way they get with time. It is a textured surface on stainless and over time ( and not too much of it really) they turn a brown color. Polished stainless like a Tubi etc turns brown too but this textured surface seems to do so much more quickly and uniformly. The mufflers since the BB's and late 308 era do this but most are less visible due to the installation. I have not yet seen a good method to make them look new and it just goes back to this look quickly so best to just leave them alone.

    Thank you for the info!

    Allot of the hardware gets mixed up during the years of service work. I looked at two cars this weekend to compare, they had the wrong hardware as well.

    Brian was our concours judge, he really knows these cars well so any advice is appreciated.

    No you make a good point. There's crimp connectors on the final install with raychem DR-25 heat wrap over the repair. The stock harness was pulled back over to hide it.
