    69 bb factory side exhaust photos please

    I have a 69 L-36 with factory side exhaust but I'm not 100% sure it's authentic. It looks to be the same age as the car and I have reviewed the AIM and new Judging Manual so I know what issues to look for but I'm not sure what these issues really look like. Obviously the rear valance but some of the other issues listed in the JG are less apparent to me. I was hoping maybe someone had some photos of the underside of the car that would identify these points so I can tell for sure what I'm looking at. I have looked in the archives and there is discussion but I found no photos. I don't expect anyone to jack a car up and photograph it, but if someone already had photos of for sure original 69 BB side exhaust it would be really helpful and greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Take some pics of your system. The frame rail at the rear kick-up would be a good place to start.

      69 rear quarters with side pipes are the only ones that do not have any cut out for the rear exhaust exit. Thats something you just cant fake. So if it has original quarters and they have the straight edge , its the real deal.

        Wayne, don't take this the wrong way, and I am not making this statement as a challenge, but I know some guys who are just wizards at repairing fiberglass. I think faking it (at least the fiberglass part of it) can be done. I will stick my neck out and say if the body is off one can fake the whole side pipe thing on 1969s -- if one has the determination, funds and time. Not necessarily in that order.

        Edit add: And talent too.

                I am doing a frame off on a 1969 350/350 convertible with side exhaust. I would consider the N14 behind the driver seat under the carpet as 'proof' of original side exhaust in addition to the other physical/mechanical indicators. I believe that it would be hard to fake the chalk marks under the glue used to attach the carpet. If you want to send me a PM I can attach more pictures. I beleive that 4 pictures are the max per post.
