[QUOTE="Fly-n-Low, post: 177132, member: 8167"] Yep, that is the muffler. It really isn't that big, as it is narrow and wide to fit under the body work. It is also very quiet (leaning to a sport muffler for more "vroom"). I have had the car for over 25 years and it has been rained on... ONCE! LOL!!! It has minimal corrosion and is one of 989 cars produced (trans and engine numbers matching). And that is a short list above. It has taken me a while to get this far because of the cost and availability of parts. Next up is knee pad, dash, door panels... The dash is over $2,500... And it is missing the MFI (mechanical fuel injection) and the Sport Seats it originally came with. Those will cost in excess of $10K each!... And I am still a long way from a complete resto. So, steady as she goes!!! No pictures or video of the Chinook??? "Come on man"! :chairshot: Used wrench on and restore cars. I had my own shop for several years.
