It's been a few weeks, so I figured I'd put out a call for those who want to chime in with news on their cars.

What projects are you in the middle of and what are you planning on tinkering on while you're tucked in for the winter?

Personally, I just got a gas welding rig to tackle some fabrication to my core support. I fired up the new 383, but the water gauge kept creeping up during break-in. I took it as a sign and got ahold of a bigger radiator. To give it enough real estate up front, the bottom of my support needs to sit a couple inches lower. After that, a couple new hoses and a little tidying up on the wiring will have her back on the road after a two month sabbatical.

How 'bout you?

Well I finally got er done , I took 2 Elky loads of junk to the landfill {formally known as dumps} and I am now able to get El-C in the garage in a permanent spot where I can start to work on her. . . . I want to have her at least sraight and in new primer for the 50th celebration. . . . The first thing I NEED to do is replace the exaust sytem. . . And the reason for this post. . . . Any ideas on where to get a "duals" set-up from exaust manifold back, eliminating the catalytic converter. . . .? No "cat-back" systems. . . . Barry-Maryland {N. Balto. Co.}
