The Ford Barn

I have a 40 2dr deluxe with a 5.0 HO My question is how far past the body should the exhaust pipes extend so I don't get fumes in the car?

Behind the axle, to the edge of the body. As long as you are moving.
You need to look around the H.A.M.B. Enroll there you will find cars like yours.
Modified cars up to 1965. The focus here is on the flathead V8

Dont go past the rear bumper. Your shins will thank you. I like straight out with Shlitz Beer cans wrapped around the tips.
