Photos: muffler, engine, generator

 George found a muffler to fit.
 We built a new gasket for the oil pan.
 One of the connecting rod caps, separated from its insert.
George is excited about this. Part of the exhaust system heating. This bit gives control over the flow of exhaust - either through the muffler or through the piece that fits into the floor in the passenger area before exhausting out the tailpipe.
 George has been busy polishing and painting. Looks great!
New wiring for the plugs (nice work Brad). The replacement generator came from a '51 or '52 Chrysler. Fits great, looks much like the original. To the left (under the oil can) you can see a safety/insurance modification - an electrical kill switch. After George's smoking Packard experience, we're all extra cautious around old electrical systems.
