Do you know what magazine and month/year? I have a pretty big stack of little books from the early 50s- mid 60s, I may have it some where.
Richard, it was from the high school newspaper. I have narrowed it down to 2" Porters or Smithys and will have a muffler shop bell some pipes. If I go stainless on the scavenger pipes can I mig weld that to regular pipe and do I have to change gas and wire?
you can but it will still rust from the inside unless you purge the inside of the pipe with inert gas while welding.
These are what I remember s****ing the crowns of the streets in Santa Barbara, California in the early 60's.
You GOT it!! Maybe ended a littl under the car at the rear axle, but that's the stance you had to have!!!
Hi I'm Kirby with KOOL Rides and these are the scavenger pipes on Jeff's El Camino that we are reproducing. They are 42 1/2' long with a flare on one end and a balony cut on the other. Check out the web site at www.koolrides.com
YEP , thats right! that way we can beat ya with em if they don't sound good. you know what he meant shmartazz, but I am laughin that was good !
Oh boy does that '40 sedan bring back memories. Early 60s before I went in the Navy I had a '47 tudor sedan, 283 Chevy, dual quads, hoodless (of course) and scavenger pipes under rear axle. Cruising Main Street by the drug store to "impress" the ladyfolk, one muffler and pipe fell off onto the pavement! Ah the indignity of it all, having to stop and throw hot exhaust parts into the trunk to the giggles and laughs of the young women I had hoped to impress. 7 decades and that memory is still with me whenever someone says scavenger pipes.
