I’ve been at this for a few years, with lots of time off due to health issues and conflicting priorities. I’m back at it now and should have the engine back together shortly.

With this CL77, I approached the project without concerns for the economics. It’s purely for my enjoyment, so I’m certain I’ve over-spent on replacement parts.

For the exhaust, I agree – there are limited options and what’s available is extremely expensive. I purchased a used muffler that was in excellent condition. My pipes were good, with no corrosion, but I had them re-plated with a chrome-like ceramic coating for a uniform appearance and durability.

Best wishes with your project. I hope to have updates to post within the next few months.

My project will be a complete rebuild and I’m now in the process of taking apart my engine to assess it’s condition. I actually started this project back in the 90’s, buying various parts I knew I would need. Luckily, I sourced an original unused set of pipes but now I’m finding the odds and ends I still need have gotten pretty pricey! Everything stopped with a move to Montana and a new ranching operation. Things have slowed down so now I’m going to try and start the actual work. Anyways, I’m curious where your project now stands. Is it still ongoing?
