  1. Says a lot for the current day safety equipment.
  2. The tie down over the front wing looks too close to the wing. I can imagine it banging the wing. :ack:
  3. AndyB, I'm going to use the insulation kit I have on the shelf for now. I'm going from bare pipes to wrapped. I haven't done any temperature measurements yet, so the improvement will be subjective. Do you know what type of coating material was used and how was it applied? Something to look into for a next step.
  4. I've been looking for molded rubber parts to cover the post. I happened to find the plastic ones at NAPA. These do the job. Sure looks better that the plastic tape.
  5. And added a heat shield. I'm guessing the radiant heat from the header did some melting of the foam. The next item, is to wrap the header with tape. I have a kit with 50 ft of 2 in fiberglass tape. The header is a 4-2-1 and I'm puzzling on how to do the separate parts. I'm stumped on how to handle where two pipes join.
  6. Modified the pipe to conform better the frame.
  7. I've been working on some repairs and changes. The tail pipe has been patched and the support point modified. I had a muffler shop move the exhaust exit from in front of the tire to behind. It was just welded that resulted in the breakage. So the support has a cradle and a clamp.
  8. Turtle Wax, Johnson Paste Wax, Brazilian Wax? If today was April 1st I'd laugh, but is this for real?
  9. :iagree: Pedal boxes are narrow unless you wear size 8AAA shoes.
  10. This year it will be Sept. 6, 2014, 10am to 3pm Early registration is now open for this event. http://atlantabritishcarfayre.com/products/
  11. It comes from the place where London Fog brand is made. :jester: I don't expect you get too much fog.
  12. Oh for the good old days. The shortest video you've ever seen so pay attention... A woman goes back to work after thirty years. Watch carefully, the video is only 5 seconds long , but, you'll get it. If you're younger than 40 years old, you probably won't understand it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qteu4ld_SCE?rel=0
  13. Going for the fastest production car record. [/url]
  14. Sounds like a lazy government official. Find a supervisor, but be polite.
  15. True or not, I use anti-seize. I bought a jar of it YEARS ago and haven't used it up yet. It's good insurance.
  16. 11Budlite, BINGO I zoomed in on the picture and now know what I'm looking at. Just like the sketch in the link. :hurray:
  17. The foam around the battery is from the product packaging. I used it to locate the battery on the trap and it is secured with tie wraps (like the lead-acid battery before). Looks like it has done double duty as an heat shield/insulator so far. I'll look into alter the location.
