Thread: 39 Ford (Coast to Coast) Rebuild

The exhaust leaked pretty bad, but I figured it was a few blown gaskets at the collectors. This is what I found. The headers have ball flanges on them, but the front pipes had a flat flange. They tried to put a gasket inbetween, but that was probably just a quick fix that didn't last. Since the pipe is stainless, and is bent pretty good to fit the frame, I'll cut the flat flange off and make a ball flange and weld it to the existing pipe. As I always say, it's the small details that make a car right. Below is the picture.
