Car was originally a 273 car now a 318. I assume they are the original manifolds. I did a leak test and it's mostly coming from driver side nearest the fire wall. I started spraying the nuts and bolts with pb blaster for now.
Not sure but that could be one of those Flat Flange driver's side exhaust manifolds. Otherwise if it is a Bell Flange it could just be loose too.

My flat flange gasket blew out, now it won't keep one in there for more than 20 miles.

I tightened up the nuts nearest the largest leak. One was nearly 2 full turns loose. Went for a drive afterwards and was pleased to not have exhaust gases coming into the cockpit for the first time ever since I’ve had it.
Still cleaning and painting. I'll try and pull the front end parts out tomorrow and clean/ paint those.
Tires next week? Hopefully. Axle shafts will be here next week as well.

Been putting the side glass in the past couple days. Put the grill and some trim on today. Starting to look like a car. I want to thank all the guys who I bought parts from and the guys who bought parts from me to make this possible, and FABO.

Met some of the crew to roll into the Packard Proving Grounds show:
At the show:
Then off for some ice cream:
Then a nice drive along Lakeshore Drive (aka Jefferson Ave) which led us to St. Paul on the Lake Catholic Church:

I didn't bother with the pictures because they just didn't show it, but someone please remind me to not buy another car with old window tint. Just finished removing 20+ year old window tint from all the door and quarter glass. Took a fair amount of time, once I figured out how to do it easiest. Man what a workout. Still have the glass bowl in back to do. Can you see the lines? That's the seems in the tint film. Nothing like old glue.

I'm facing the same thing, took it off the door glass and still have the rear side glass and back glass to do.

It’s a *****! All I can say is get a small razor blade holder and change the blades frequently. Sprayed it down with windex and added ammonia. Worked pretty well!
