Reply to "5029 Restoration"

the headers and trimmed flares I inherited. The header are a true bundle of snakes. The best spin that I can put on them is that a genuine effort seemed to have been made to create equal length for the generally shorter routed #4 & #8 cylinder. I prefer the look of the parrallel piped 180s, yet these seemed to function well and sound very balanced above 2600RPM.

Kirk Evans spent a week at my house 2 years ago and taught me the ABC's of body work and the humbling difference between those with an artist eye and those without. He guided me in reshaping the flares for the wheels. Kirk also was instrumental in repairing prior crash damage that had been unearthed under the bondo when initially stripping the car. However, the flat edge had been removed by the prior owner and we ultimately preferred the "lighter" look without them.

On another issue, all the lettering is painted. Including the script on the back of the car. I don't enjoy cleaning around the originals and took some liberty here.
