3" from the collector back I found a great deal on eBay on 3" J bends, the exit/turn down is at the rear wheel arch. Looking at the Speedway Auger style muffler. Dynatech® Auger Style Muffler, 11 x 3 Inch
I can't run the side pipes under the body like 2260 (pic) I built in 1 1/2" of drop into the chassis when I built it I won't have any ground clearance.

In my opinion, the sanding and glass work is the worst part  Looks like you are doing a good job.
