Won't know until I get it together and roll it outside I think. It is nice to have that part behind me though.

    Bob- sorry to bring up a sore subject, but if it makes you feel any better my dad has been "building" the '35 for 52 years

    Pro- what mufflers did you guys put on your son's Camaro? I've had SLP and Borla on my Camaros and Hooker on the '35. I'm not too sure I'm happy with the Hooker yet..

    He went with Flowmaster. Sounds about the same as before, maybe slightly louder. But now he has a cutout in place of the cat & a wide band o2 sensor.

    My kinda guy!! He makes me look fast!

    Well, if all the other junk in the shop wasn't enough, yesterday morning I opened Craigslist and see an ad that had just been published for a '51 flathead Ford V8. Happens it was just a few miles from my place so I jump in the truck, inspect it, and load it up. There's one small visible crack next to one valve seat so I'll need to have my local machine shop check for any other cracks and tell me if the one I saw is repairable. Even if I have to trash the block, I'm in it right enough I could easy part it out for decent money. Hello, my name is Bob, I'm a caraholic.......

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    I've fallen off the wagon so many times I think it's become a 1200 step program!
