I plan to post some pictures as I progress. However, since I'm doing my own body/frame bonding and riveting I have to do some dissasembly first. That didn't scare me off - I restored an old Corvette and got real familar with bonding and riveting. Doubt it will be too interesting for awhile. I'm glad I did spring for the powdercoating - it looks really nice.
I ordered the undercar headers w/o pipes since I plan to have a custom exhaust shop a couple blocks from here rig up an undercar system. I thought I would get a complete undercar header from head flanges to collector - you know, like a header on most any car. Instead I got a box of eight, separate exhaust pipe/head flange pieces with about 9 or 10 inches of pipe each. No four pipe flange or collector. After scratching my head over that one for awhile I called ERA and they said their exhaust system supplier terms that a header - which it might be for a side pipe system. They are trying to work something out.
Now the work and fun begins.
