Headman headers went in nice too.. Pass side went in from the top after lifting the motor up a little..drivers side went in from bottom with motor lifted a little .... And after the header is pushed up in place dangleing the starter had to be put in and then the header bolts.. Had to give one header pipe a small tap to clear the starter.... I know u can see little mild rust inside my headers.. They are brand new never fired..bought them off a project from craigslist that someone gave up on...

we pulled the steering column to make it easyer to instal the clutch peddles and fix the knuckle in the tilt wheel because its loose and creating slop in my steering... Come to find out my gearbox is also slopy and wont tighten up
so now i got to find a new gearbox and will be pulling the drivers header back off ...

Btw order directly from a flowmaster dealer and save a few bucks-hey hi ... I could never abandon this sweet heart lol.. Thats not a bad price on pipes ..i saved the link to my wish list
That is a very cool purple pipe you have there
Just removed the windsheild from my satty and cleaned up the groove all the way around. Really nice that the Royal Canadian Air Force has a Auto hobby shop. 2 mechanical bays and a body bay. Great bunch of guys that assist me in doing it all myself minus painting.
The chevy thats in the body bay should be out nxt week and then mine goes in.
Heres a shot of 1 of the 2 buildings and my car minus winsheild.
Met with a glass guy to chit chat about what the processes were this morning and hes willing to give me a hand putting it in.
He suggested a epoxy primer and says I cleaned it up perfect (little relief)
more to come; sry i diont want to take over your thread-

Great looking floors!woo!! Your a lucky guy-
had a peice mine in- didnt bother replacing the whole side-
Doing the vynal top doesnt sound very fun-
Removing the org. glass outer hard tar edge wasnt easy either but with a heat gun & a scraper it was like butter-After that i used a wire wheel but be cautious of the little round clip holders-cause you can wear them dwn easily..
I got a new window but got a deal at 75$ (last one) 2 yrs ago at a local window shop- Ive seen prices from 200 new to 300 or so- not too bad-ttyl
