Headers consisted of a stub flange with flexible tubing held on with muffler clamps and the collectors were huge coffee cans. IT WAS LEGAL So you were the one that started the Coffee can craze You are a lucky man Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I knew that at the end of the day if they didnt wipe your class off the window that was cool... riding down Woodward with your class still on the car was cool(that showed that you won that day)

Usually when I hear " 50 years " , it is in reference to a job or marriage..........and spoken as if it were a prison sentence. Congratulations Fred. I have to agree with Thumper.....you probably have more stories than many of us have passes.
