[BaadAssGremlins] Update # 2 on 72 strip/street grem

["Davis" <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well it is now 10:30 pm. I sanded my quarter with 220 and painted it 
with Hi-build primer looks ok. Still a few waves that need fixing. 
Can't see em, but I can feel em.
 I got my headers bolted in. It was a PITA even with the tranny 
missing. Drivers side went in with no trouble. Pas side I had to jack 
the front end waaayyy up and finally got it in. one tube bearly hits 
the mini starter so I marked it to put a small ding later with the 
ballpeen. 
When I unpacked the headers, inspection showed that the tube that 
accepts the #8 removable tube was dented so I had to fix that,Where 
they cut #8 tube there was like an 1/8 inch bur I had to file off. 
Port match is close, needs minor grinding.Will need to grind for 
clearance of the head bolts. I will also weld a tab on the #8 Tubes so 
I can bolt them together at the joint. I will weld the gap between the 
outside of the flange and the header tubes. I need to weld in the evac 
tubes as well. As you can see these $615.00 headers are far from a 
quality bolt on. 
 Anyway I added a few pics to my folder of the header fit and the rear 
quarter. Look at how far apart my grem is. I sure hope I can have it 
done for the middle of june. 
 O ya, and I came down with a killer cold today. Can't take time off 
from the car though.
