Barnfind 1970 Barracuda

Trying to fabricate my own Cuda exhaust tips from some stainless steel I had.
Have no metal brake so I made one out of wood.
The corner gets a bit wider radius than what I see in pictures of the originals, due to my crude wood brake,
but WTH, at no cost, they will be fine.

Thanks @usraptor for the measurements!

Ingenious !  Bend radius looks good, once you get the angle cut into them.... from a distance, no one will know the difference

Good job! 

[soundcontrol]

Weather has been bad, getting better now so I can get stuff done.
Exhaust tips are coming along, made them a bit longer than original just in case I screwed up the angle in the cut.
And I'll wait with welding on the pipes until I see how the system sits.
Some polishing on the stainless and they will do fine.

Great job Soundcontrol.  I'm jealous of our skill.

AWESOME....good enough for the girls I go out with 

I know those girls, not that picky 

[soundcontrol]

Exhaust done!
That was a pain, nothing fits perfect, had to slice and cut a lot to make it fit.
Made my own hangers.
My tips came out OK with some quick polishing, too nice for the that tail panel.
They should fit the valance also, tested it many times.

Great job Ken.

Changed the tranny oil and filter in the 904, I just had to paint the pan, could not resist, very mismatched 

[soundcontrol]

Now on to the brakes. Have none.
A bleeding did it for the front system, but not the rear, suspect a blockage or a leak in the brakeline to the rear axle. Crap!

The red brake warning light, (on the dash) should that turn on if I ground the wire that goes to the brake line split block under the master cylinder?
Or is it somehow connected so I actually need to push the brake also?

[soundcontrol]

Yep, totally blocked hose at the rear axle, never seen that before.
Of course I broke the brake line coming in to the hose while removing, just moved it and it snapped.
I'm gonna replace all the brake lines and hoses now.
