Because of the Virus and subsequent shutdown of the New York DMV I am unable to register my new to me Studebaker and therefore unable to drive it. This has given me the chance to repair a couple minor things that bugged me on the car, mostly a couple of exhaust leaks. The first was the heat riser on the exhaust manifold. After spending what seemed like an eternity filing the mating surfaces of the heat riser valve and exhaust manifold to ensure a leak free seal I was then able to move on to the other exhaust leak at the back of the car. This is where I may have gone off the rails a little bit. It all started with the poor fitment of the tailpipe. If you look at the pictures you can see it was hitting both the spare tire well and the leaf spring. Also, unpictured, the tailpipe was rubbing on the brake line over the differential housing and very close to the shock.
