…Build this car and this webpage. Here is Rob installing the passenger side (e.g. difficult side) exhaust header. Dad (me) installed the driver’s side (e.g. easy side) header in a lot less time!
We did have a good time with this install.

We even modified a 12 point offset box wrench for the bolt closest to the firewall.
We cut the box wrench in half, and then shortened it even more. Then we had to take off some material at the box end, so it was a lot thinner.
We ended up with this:

Doesn’t look like a brand new Craftsman wrench, does it?
It works great!
If you look closely, you can see my son’s name engraved in the tool. He did that after we finished the install.
We used Earl’s Pressure Master Gaskets, so we haven’t had to use this wrench since the initial install. We have it ready for next time!
Rob also helped with installing new spark plug wires, finding the roof seam leak, and a bunch of other modifications and maintenance on the car.
Finally, Rob has become an expert detailer. Really. He helps with the pre-show detailing and does almost all of the post-show detailing. I trust him more than any local “professionals” that I have met.
Thanks Rob!
