Most of the parts sat around a few years. The next major improvementswere due to the purchase of this parts car for $500. It actually ran and drove but we had trouble getting it started using the key. We had to jump the solenoid with a tire iron. It turned out that the seat belt interlock was actually functional. First one I had ever come across that still worked.

Still functioning seat belt interlock!?!? Never seen a functioning one either.
I just installed the system on the right on my car, and I hadn't seen a muffler setup like the one you have pictured there. I'm looking to see if I can quiet the car up a bit more, but I might be asking too much of the muffler with the high'ish compression and cam.
Escaped on a technicality.

No, BUT, it did come with pipes that I did not attach that would take it to the bumper, and it'd look I think pretty much just like what I can see in the picture of the backsides of your cars.
Here is a picture, mind you this picture was taken in 'mock up' stage so they aren't quite centered, etc, but essentially that is where the exhaust exits. I've been contemplating playing with either adding the pipes to take it to the bumper or add exhaust tips to it and see if the sound in and out of the car changes. I'd use simple clamps for testing.

After assembling a pretty decent interior I swapped over the power front disc brakes. About a year after that I sold the motor and transmission to some young kid that was going to use it in a T-bucket. His family builds fiberglass tubs and everyone else had big V-8s.
My plan was to install the 350 from the other car that spring, but that was not to be. The closest I got was stripping the paint from the motor. Two years later I was looking at this.
