exhausted....

update::::::
after the incident this weekend i was a lil brnt out on exhaust, so i ordered a oil filter relocation kit. my wife yesterday was trying to convince me to take the car to try different places. well me being me i said no(wasnt ready for more dissapointment) so i used "im gonna wait for my oil filter kit to come in" as a excuse. well to make a very long story not so long , i decided today that i was going to take the car and get quotes and listen to somebody else tell me no so i could start search for the manifold that points back etc... ( i was mentally preparing myself for the "babe i need the check book" so to speak)(you married guys know how bad that gets sometimes ha ha ha )
so off i go . i had been hearing about this guy that will do anything that you want, even if it meant serious work.so i started with him. i call him first to make sure that for some reason he didnt close or wasnt able to weld or something like that. he said come on in and "show me what you got" .
i pull up to his shop , and his coworker come out and literally crawls under the car and says "she'll be tight" "when you wanna pick her up?"bear in mind i hadnt even received the oil filter relocator. i was in shock.. i didnt know what to say so i said well i have school tomorrow night so preferrebly before that but if not them let me know so i can line up another project. he said "i was talking about after lunch" i turned into a lil school boy. come to find out the owner was a mopar fan. said he had had a couple of a bodies in his day. "loved their 340's, the 360 was a tough motor" etc.....i dropped the car off at 9:30 and at 1:30 he called and said she was done, he loved the way it sounded, and it was 50 bucks cheaper than he quoted.and it looks really clean.
