I hate doing things more than once......seems like thats happened alot of this build. the issues I ran into in the body work/primer face where I had to do a bunch of work over. changing out carburetors multiple times, pulling my interior out and installing it multiple times,now this....aswell as some other stuff I am sure.
mmm.. (stupid side story time) So i popped my up ball joints out with a puller, they were threaded in, had to have them welded back in. I managed to have them welded in upside down.
Sometimes we need to do things twice to learn how it should be done.
Just make sure to get it done right the first time, on your second try...
your ****'s so beautiful, all the extra work is sure paying off. I bet the EPA will even declare that you exhaust is making the environment look better.
