          Spidey I know exactly where you are talking about, Muffler Masters was my favorite place to get exhaust work done, the last thing I had done there was a 66 Fairlane with a 351w done, went from crappy straights to cherry bombs and turnouts behind the tires.

                  Stumped!!

                  Another historical tid bit on that car is that it was equipped with the third Lenco transmission ever produced.
                  That which you manifest is before you.
