Well crap. Guess the mini starter is out. My next option is to find parts to rebuild?

Isnt the show 26-28th?
Ok, so I guess its been awhile since I posted anything. Pretty much the car sat all winter. A couple weeks ago we dragged it out of its storage...

Our problem is that the remains of the pipe still connected to the exhaust manifolds need to be torched off and we dont have a lift. For some...
I am replacing the brake shoes, I posted that. I did order wheel cylinder kits. I did order a new cartridge, and I am on a budget. lol

The other exhaust shop came by today and gave me an estimate of $350 to do the complete dual exhaust. He said single might be a little cheaper....
It is a fairly straight shot to the back of the car with very little in the way. The issue we have is we cant get the bolts out of the manifold....

I would send him a new email about the exhaust because they responded quick to me. I appreciate you taking the time to check out your info!
Thanks for the tip! Might have to try that on the bumpers. The stainless looks good it is just all beat up in spots.
That chrome isnt as nice as it seems.
If i did that i would need to put 24" wheels on it then! lol
How long have you been waiting? On a different note Im still having issues getting a drag link or center link or whatever you want to call it....
Thanks, I guess i just cant decide what i want lol
