well... made it out of work early, but... the chick is NOT going out with the girls tonight... darned woman... 
she wants to spend some "quality time", unfortuantely she doesn't want to spend it BS'ing about cars and exhaust systems over a few frosty beverages
I'm still in shock about Last Chance disappearing... I had been there like a month before and WHAM! gone... *shrug* oh well... time to find a new bar I guess
guess I'll catch you donkeys another time

So who's bringing the beers to Midgets place tomorrow??
I am excited like a little school girl to see this car. Mark you are a lucky man and I am SUPER JEALOUS.

Oh well, the drivers side headers is all pieced together and passenger side is started. I'll post a pic tommorow. I'm wiped out and ready to pass out...
BTW - Drew, that stuff happens to me all the time. Just when you think you have the weekend planned, BAM, the women changes the plans on ya. I think it is their way of keep us confused

Justin: Wed should be OK after 5:30.
Here are some pics of the header. The one tube on the top looks like it is just angled and butted up to the other pipe, but it isn't. It has a small pie piece of curved section to angle it about 4 degrees. Every tube connection is cut square to the radius of the curve and every tube is +/- 0.5" in length of the target length.

Looks damn good. I went to 75-80 friday night then spent saturday mowing grass and putting the tranny, converter etc in the car. Not real easy by yourself with no trans jack or lift. Did it with 2 floor jacks and a lot of arm holding and shimming.

Well I finished up the passenger side header. Pics will be posted tomorrow. You guys in Westminster better hurry up if you want to see this while it is close by. I'm planning to send it home on Sunday with the exhaust all done. Just in time to get the RX-Midget back Sunday night or Monday
