Turn your muffler clamps 90 Degrees so that the nuts can be easily accessed once the body is on..A rookie mistake but easily fixed at this point..do it before they become heated and the metal atains new memory..

Retighten after a couple of hours run time..

Alex,

Sage advice. Dan the Muffler Man placed the clamps tits-up to remind me to tighten them once I am happy with the final positioning. He left some wiggle room if I didn't like the set up - a real pro, our Dan. Prior to the great "mating" of body and frame, I will adjust the clamps just so.

By the way, it is good to "hear" from you - it seems we lost you for a spell (or maybe I should venture out of the Resto Forum more often...),
