Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Thanks guys. Yeah, I've heard the body filler routine, and I'm sure it works well. But I have always cut some mat the same width as the wood, laid up a couple of layers of it, and clamped the stringer into that wet mat. It gives it somewhat of a cushion under there that will conform to the irregularities. I bet John knows this way from working at the boat factories. BTW, I'm still sneezing up wood dust.

I had to head back to the shop tonight........Santa came today in his brown truck. Got my headers. I LOVE 'EM. !!! Sanderson did their usual good job, and they seem to be aimed just the right way to deflect the exhaust down and out away from the driver. I am going to order a couple of end caps from them in plain steel and build my own baffles, then have them jet hot coated to match the headers. I think that should quiet it down a little.

Of course I had to bolt them to the engine for a look see, here are some shots.

PS: Yes, I am going to paint that red distributor cap the same color as the engine. Sticks out like a sore thumb now.
