Very good observation, but it's actually simpler than that. Also, adding to the field of pointless knowledge: The centigrade system used almost everywhere except for in the US was invented by a guy here from Sweden called Anders Celsius.

today i just finished exaust with long tubes . Sound is not what supposed to be , ,and maybe i go some leaks , some whistle from heads ,  Which muffler have a nice sound  , tipycal old style ? 
( not magnaflow , too modern ) 
Now i have thrush turbo  and is relatevly loud / bearable  and is nice when rpm goes high . At low seems shuffles to much 

I remember using Thrush Turbos on my 66 coupe a long way back and had it dumped under the car like you do. I loved the way it sounded at full throttle, but it was loud and droned at low rpm/cruising speeds. You might try fashioning some temporary tailpipes and see if that doesn't help.

Today I got around to removing the offending front driver fender apron.  MS suggested I replace the radiator support which I had considered, but I'm trying to avoid the WYIT monster.  But of course, I don't want to do the job half way.  So I'm now seriously considering it.  The radiator support does look relatively rough, especially the top rail.  What are ya'lls thoughts on high quality radiator supports?  I don't want to put something cheapo and bad fitting in.

Making some progress on quarter panel patching...

I finally got around to a few things on my 70Mach.
Stainless brake lines
Rear disc setup from a late 90s Mercury Marquis
Front SPC upper control arms
PTC lower control/strut rods
Borgeson steering box
PST tie rod sleeves
Modified power steering pump bracket for saginaw pump
Tilt steering column
New dash pad
LED cluster lights
Aluminum heads
ported intake to heads
Sanderson headers
Exhaust X pipe
Sanden a/c compressor mounted low on passenger side
Center force clutch
Open Tracker roller clutch linkage and modified Borgeson Z bar
Still tying in the headers to the existing exhaust system V bands at the Summit muffler inlets.
Getting close to fire up and shake down then on to front end alignment.

Working on it.

Continuing the rust battle, Passenger side quarter panel patch about 95% done.

Need to patch up the tail panel and prep the trunk for paint.  That should take a couple solid weekends.  Stupid tail light gaskets on the 71-73's were like a freaking sponge, so I have to perform more surgery.

how do you get the flame print where the battery goes? That panel does not look interchangeable.

I more or less custom built everything above the framerails in front of the shocktowers as it made things easier (IMO) when I should fit the radiator, intercooler and all the other stuff there. The flames are made with a bead roller.
 

Picked up the car from the body shop.  I had them spray the bare interior with POR15

With the help of my stepson, we replaced the fuel sender and the fuel pump. Not fun considering the tank was still half full.
