If I did that, it would be just about done enough for my wife to eat. It saddens me everytime she orders "shoe leather".

Thanks, my dad was quite the inventor/innovator. I'll share more stories later.
However, if you look at this photo you can see the 6 meter Ham radio "Halo" antenna he made himself. Also note the rocks in front of the tires. The first night we spent crossing the Rockies it went well below zero. This car had been a left over built in late 1956 and not sold for nearly a year. Little did my father know that after sitting through Canadian winters and then crossing the US desert in August that enough water condensation would form to burst a brake line. My dad drove down the west side of the Rockies with no brakes and only "L" of the powerglide tranny and the hand brake. He did have to make use of a couple of truck runoffs to the delight of us kids. My mother, not so much! |

@NoHaveMSG Check this out, response from the vendor finally after I inquired about an update:
"They did respond, but was trying to get a little more out of them. They said the front pipe you got will work without an issue and that is how it's suppose to be. They said there won't be an issue if you installed it. But I responded with would they replace it for you and nothing from there."

Apparently someone trolled the new MGM Sphere and if you go to google maps you can drop the little guy in it and see the inside. DO NOT DO THIS. It is a dude in his house butt ass naked. Wang out and all.

As far as other test pipes, my options are slim to none. I inquired about a refund, but if I'm going to be on the hook for return shipping and restocking fee then fuck it.

That piece of exhaust pipe will last longer than the rest of the car. Just slap it on there. Hell, it ain't a pressure pipe on a steam boiler or a stress pipe holding up a bridge - If you wanted to see "ugly welds" you ought to have seen some of my arc welding back in the day, welding galvanized water pipes into a cast iron exhaust manifold to make "headers". Yep, done with an arc welder with one speed (HOT) and one sized rod (LARGE). Now, don't you two feel better about that piece of pipe? |
