With wiring mostly complete, exhaust tips are last necessary item.
This will probably not sit well with a good number of people.
This single item will be the only visual deviation from factory.
Always liked the Chrysler Crossfire tips.
Long way to go to be complete. But good enough for me to start the test drives.
Center portion is raised towards bumper.  Outer pieces will get added strips to close top gap. Leaf spring openings will be filled also.
Less than half of the tips will be lower than tail pans normal bottom height. Lots of refinement remains.
Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.
You are the only one in charge of your destiny.

Hey Mike,
Looking nice. How did you tuck the rear bumper in so tight? Make your own brackets?

Yes my own brackets. Long way from being done. Bumper also has had lots of hammering to remove the "smile" that many have. Underside at the ends have a series of slices to help form them to body better and evenly.

I've got to do up my own brackets as well. My front bumper is tucked in...the rear bumper still has the '73 filler pieces... :dunno:
Although I bought the '70 filler piece for after it's moved in.
