Wow, that thing sounds good. Man, I need to get my grandfather's back up and running. It's got a real bad draw on the battery. Not sure what's causing it.

FREAKING awesome score on the MINT born with components for the car... that is great! Jon Mello had the original sections from his survivor 67 Z28 with the manifolds as well. If you use an inside collar you can tig the pipe back together easily, if you still have the remainder.

This thread just keeps getting even better, big congrats on finding your Dad's stash!
As much as all the parts are valuable, somehow those head pipes your own pop cut off seem just priceless!

Darrel, if you still need the flywheel inspection plate bolt I believe I have an original for you but would like to confirm the head marking. Let me know.

Enjoy the project!

By the way, no need to do retractions in the future, just put the word &quot;allegedly&quot; in front of all your postings. (my official lawyerly advice) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
