Well Merv,
If I can offer any helpful advice for the pending visit;
Trevor and Leslie are both really nice people.
If you rock up from nowhere and get a job done at zero notice like me you'll most probably pay the "nil notice wanker" premium. Which is of course industry standard.
Trevor doesnt make you tea or coffee, you'll find the jug down on the back wall.
You will pay for the experience and after a few days will justify to yourself why it was worth it. Neat fit, attention to detail, snug but precise fits, tig welded joints.
As for clearance at the back, I will slightly flatten the pipes as they pass between the swing arm and axle, but there is really adequate clearance for a firmly sprung car.
I elected to just have the rear mandrel bends <> muffler joints only tack welded so I could rotate and adjust clearances when I get the rear wheels on. This is what happens when you are on a budget for time and dollars tho.
Also got some good advice on triangulating the chassis, modifying the diff base plate and engine mounts to prevent torque twist.
All in all, bang for your buck, good people, good people who know thier sh"t.
