Hoping to wrap up work here at Time Machines today so we can transport the car back to Jim's home shop for the minor details completion and eliminate his 3 hour round trip commute to our shop.

Glen,
What Rick said. I am in a hurry to get out the door to do that long drive to his shop so that I can get to work on the car and get it back home. Rick volunteered his shop for the car as he and others would be there to help while I was rehabbing my rotator cuff.
The headers and exhaust pipes are a high quality stainless steel and will not transfer heat as readily as mild steel. I can always have them coated later if I feel the need. Take care.
Jim
