I had a slight exhaust leak so I used it as my excuse to buy some new ceramic coated and polished headers. Also installed billet fittings that mount on the block. I used plubming fittings because I cold not find billet fittings but learned that Mezzier sold them.

Car runs cool, fast and sounds much better with no exhuast leak due to the crappy headers I had on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Well...while I was laying on my back, working on my son's '65 Notch,
I looked over at my '74 on the jackstands and noticed a few places
that I didn't terminate when I welded the rear stiffening kit, and that
I need to ...

oh, yeah, I forgot that I didn't connect that side, because
I didn't finish that section, there, ...not there, ... over there !
( JFC ! )....NEVER MIND, hand me the 17mm box...

... I need to get back to MY project, ...just after the K Ghia.

... Somofabitch ...Goddamnit, you hit me in the shin with the
fuckin' floorjack...Shit ...quit kicking the floor jack while I'm under here !

...anyyywaaay, I left a hand print in the dust on my hood, recently, and just a few
months ago, I sat in it.

My newly restored rear brake calipers (Ferrari 308) along with a bunch of other brake parts, got drop shipped by Mr Shea at PMB to Sean at SD Autosport where they will wait to go onto the car.

Nice work Eric! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) You should have seen what these calipers looked like before Eric started working his magic...

Jumped started the car as the cold weather drains the battery so I could drive it to work today (in the 50s today). I need to stop being a cheap a$$ and buy a much better battery.
