Where are you having the exhaust work done? I want to see this thing when it's finished
A guy named Ernie Miyamoto. I didn't know him, but a few friends says he does really nice work and recommended him....

Are you keeping this car or selling it when its done?
Hahaha....That is a loaded question. It depends, you know. I have a lot of time and money invested in the car. I don't care at all about the time invested, because this is a hobby (even though it has turned into a 2nd full time job). Every part on the car is brand new, including $550 worth of AMK bolts. I have all of the parts for the car except for the wheels and tires. The front fenders need to be on before I can determine the backspace and then get the largest wheel and tire I can fit.
The car was a complete, running real SS car when I got it. There was absolutely no external rust on the car.
After the headers are finished, I am dropping the car off at the body shop that did the paint and have them install the front end sheetmetal. I don't want to screw that up, so I'll let the pros do it. I am also thinking of having exhaust cut-outs put on......
Anyway, to make a long story longer, I would consider selling the car after the headers are finished and the front end has been put on. Either I could finish it, or you could.
Here a couple of pics. First pic is just as it came back from the blaster. While there were a few fixes done during its life, it was rust free. All of the fixes were metal finished as shown in the bottom pics...

Very nice and detailed!
Getting closer...
Header Progress - Headers are much closer to the underside of the car now. All of the tubes were shortened and now I have a ton of clearance for spark plug wires. I want to run the wires underneath the headers and now I can....
Clears steering shaft now....
