Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Well done.
When my Mom ordered a new range, I interceded before the appliance store boys could cart off the old Hotpoint. I set it up in the backyard. I had to tie in a 220 line and outlet so I could power it. I baked a new set of Hedman headers after airbrushing on some black ceramic coat from Eastwood. Two hours at 500*. Came out pretty good. Then I mummy-wrapped the headers with 2'' fiberglass wrap. I had shot the stuff inside as well as out, so I thought it would hold up. Unfortunately, the wrap retained moisture, so one of the downtubes on the drivers side rusted out after only 7 years. [In Arizona.] Then I found out the hard way, Hedmans are lifetime guaranteed, but not if you use mummy wrap.
