The finished exhaust ended up very close to the body.
.
As I like the way many of the original "D" type's recessed the silencer into the body I thought I would try and copy them.
First I cut a hole a little bigger than the silencer into the body.
Then I made a fiberglass mould using a cardboard tube.
I fitted the moulded section into the hole which matched the silencer just right.
Finally I took
moleur advice ad added some VHT paint.
Again I very pleased with the results.
