Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Small Update… Started cleaning up the inner fenders to get them in primer… new DA sander died...:bang head: will be contacting Eastwood tomorrow…

Checked my Engine angle, all good… Started to hook up exhaust pipes to the ram horn manifolds… Driver's side manifold was a flea bay find, and as I began to tighten the pipe to the manifold, POP… one of the 3 studs popped right out the side of the casting, along with a piece of the manifold... Oh well, after a very short time of re-evaluating, Headers will be installed... The down pipe from the ram horns through a 90 ended up being welded to stainless pipe from there back… Next step, get headers, then cut steel pipe away and connect Stainless pipe to Headers... Problem Solved!!! On top of that, after a quick call to a fellow gear-head, I will have a set of Headers in the next few days for $30...

Here are a few photos...
Driver's side inner fender did get some primer on the repaired area…
Took some pics of the Impala taillights in the buckets...
