A little update on the shocks... This is what the bushing looks like on the front passenger wheel well:





Definitely need new suspension...

Thankfully, it was the back passenger side that was steam cleaned. This afternoon, I welded a new Magnaflow muffler in place of the old one. It cam out ugly, but very functional, and as a bolt-on replacement.

I spot welded small pieces of metal to the old muffler ends I wanted to keep. And then spot welded those pieces to the table. I then used a plasma cutter to cut out the muffler section:

After removing the old muffler section, I placed the new magnaflow next to one end and then added an extension to make it reach the other end.



Then add a few tack welds:



Then make horrible ugly nasty huge welds and then make holes while welding and add lots more filler to make in super huge and heavy.



Later I'll paint it with some heat-resistant paint to prevent any more rust. I now have a bolt-on replacement Magnaflow muffler to match my magna flow cats, and cut-off resonator.

Also decided to get a 53230 crower Camshaft. And I will get the 4.6L crank and rods, too and see what I can get out of the mix.
