Modify your rear valance for custom exhaust tips, here's how we did it Options

[tygaboy]

Robert, my buddy @BuddyV has a cool, dual exhaust muffler on his big 4, wanted to run the rear valance and asked if I could help him make that happen. I've got to do this same sort of modification on my valance so figured "what better way to develop the skill than by practicing on someone else's car?"

I figured I'd give the hammer form approach a go. Apologies for not documenting as the work occurred and not taking pics along the way but you'll get the idea.

Anyway, here's how we did it:

First, I used a template tool and copied the shape of the valance and the desired shape of the opening onto a block of wood. I bit of time with a band saw and sander and I had the hammer form.

Lesson learned: don't use a regular ol' 2x4. It barely made it through the process! Again, this pic is after all the hammering and you can see the carnage. Hardwood next time.
