It looks great. Here's hoping for an early spring.

When will winter make an end? I am confident we should be able to safely drive our cars by the all-star break. I'm going back to bed, wake me when its over.

Looks like your exaust is hanging at a bad angle to me , maybe a new tailpipe ?
Well I just put a whole new exhaust system, 2.5 inch pipe. So I don't know if thats the problem, unless it was installed too low, but it looks like it doesnt have any room to be pushed up more.

So you have this problem, what does it sound like? Because I'm speculating that I might have this same problem when I romp on the gas. Can you give me a description?

Well it sounds like a scratch it only happens if the car gets enough momentum to swing the tail end down then causing the pipes to screech on the floor. Horrible noise, like nails on a chalkboard.
 
I think I have the same problem. So you think the noise is coming from the exaust pipe scratching on the body? Is that what you mean by "floor"?

...causing the pipes to screech on the floor...

Heres my '72, Does anyone think it sits lower than normal, because my exhaust seems to touch even sometimes if I slam the gas. When do I know if I need a new spring?
I'd start a new thread in the C3 Tech forum...better response to your question there.

Very unique. Was the conversion done when the car was new?


The conversion was done within the last 10 years. I've owned the car for 6. As I understand it, the previous owner, short term owner, had the conversion done. The car is actually a 73 vert, by vin, but I call it a 1980 because it has more 1980 parts than 73. In fact the only 73 parts left are the birdcage and rear suspension. The frame is from a 77. Everything else including the front suspension, body, interior, wheels, electronics and wiring are all 1980. She is getting C5 wagon wheels very soon. Just have to install after replacing the trailing arms.
