so when I went back I had to make a new one. Welded it up got some of the holes drilled myself (in the right spot I might add), and all that was left was to get the guy next door to mill some slotted holes in it. Guess who called me tonight with some more bad news....he said my holes were 1/2 inch out...when I reminded him that my holes were correct and that the other side needed to be milled and all he just said was "oops, I'll get a new one made and call you tomorrow!" seriously how hard is it to drill some hole and follow some directions??? 
the guy who was doing the milling is a great guy and has a 67 Canso that he SHOWS and races! So I know it's not his fault. Then to top it off I tried the headers once more and made them fit...don't ask. So I painted them with high temp vht headers paint and told dad to bring them in the garage after they dry, well guess its my fault I should have brought them in, it rained on them that night and the following morning. I was already back home at the time and didn't know until a few days later. Anyway was not a productive summer for the car, but I did build a new fence, a 10x14 cedar deck, tore down my carport, and have applied for a permit to build my OWN garage!
Sorry if it seems more like a vent then an update.....
