Bolt on body work. Antiquated Mule Contributor Du Keeps came up with this method of rat body work to get his El Camino to pass inspection in BC years ago. A little aluminum flashing and voila. Beautifully ratty body work. See previous posts for pic of the rusty ride.

Did a little angle grinding and painting to most areas on the body while I was at it, but it was still frickin' cold out and the paint was running a bit. Plan to do more Bondo work this summer.

The exhaust needed replacing front to back. Aside from waking the neighbors, which was normally reserved for motorcycle season, I was getting dizzy at long red lights. Didn't do anything fancy, just pieced together the cheapest straights and curves I could get and had the local muffler shop fab it into place. Kinda wish I'd gone for something that made the straight 6 make it's sludge growl a little more, but I'd promised the wife this wouldn't be another money pit and time sucker. See above for broken promises.
