Time to plan out an exhaust for the car. er maybe I should wait till the rear clamshell is on.

Do you have any ideas the exhaust for the new chassis? I haven't picked out a muffler yet but it will most likely be a round (bullet style) one. I also have a small round (12" long) cat converter I'd like to have inline with the exhaust as well.

I'll probably bring it out the bottom middle of the car like yours, but I was thinking of the possibility of putting it out that upper vent on the back side of the back panel.

There is not a lot of room for an exhaust, so it needs to be planned pretty well in advance. I would definitely place the rear clamshell on the car with the hinge assy in place before playing with the exhaust routing.

I am going to email you a drawing for the rear hinge. It is a very simple piece. You will need to fiberglass/bond it to the rear decklid and it will use 4 heims. No welding to the frame required but 2 holes drilled.
