So today I was able to make a trip into Chicago (ironically just blocks away from where the 409 spent the first 18 years of it's life) and pick up some more original parts I needed to keep my vision going with this car.
The exhaust manifolds on the car are the later higher flowing type - which I will probably leave on for now, but I picked up a correctly dated set of the proper ones for the car along with the correct head pipes for the manifolds. In addition I picked up a correct original oil fill cap, upper hood latch, NOS fuel filter element, original 4657 fuel pump core, and a manual steering box (the last piece I needed for the conversion back to manual steering - but like the manifolds I may wait a while on that. The oil fill cap and hood latch are already on the car for the show. Also sharing some pics of a real neat Honduras Maroon/Fawn bubbletop 409 car from California.

We had a great time displaying the car at MCACN - thanks to all that came by. Dad would have been thrilled.
