Fleet Runner Belt installed




Ring Bros Hood hinges installed





And the Headers arrived.....I should have done this right from the beginning.......



I talked to Donnie at Frame-up in Beach Park, Ill about putting the headers on and he had an opening.......so I drove the car over there without the hood .......I'll bring the Hood over there also so after finishing the exhaust they can install and align the hood......then I need to take it back to Stefano for some final tweaking..........Then I hope I'm finished........LOL

Good grief, that Nomad is beauty, and it must run like a banshee.

Stopped at Frame Up on the way home and in my mind I knew that the drivers side header was not going to fit............we had talked about cutting , welding, and recoating.......LOL.........both sides were installed when I got there, just some slight dimpling was all that was required.......Should be finished tomorrow.......LOL......

Drivers side



Passenger side............
