Finally got my headers back from getting coated, only 3 weeks late. It's been raining so much here i guess it doesn't make much difference. Only problem is, they didn't coat the inside, even though I paid them to. I'm hoping they let me bring them in this fall to get the inside done. That way the car won't be down another month.I have lots of good news on the start up. First off it appears that the trans is not leaking at the fitting boss for the cooler lines where I cracked it. It looks like the specially made fitting, red Locktite and JB Weld are working together at the moment. Second, the Radiator from Crites seems to have taken care of my overheating problem. No matter how long I let the car Idle in the garage it never got over 180*. So the electric fan and the radiator are doing the trick. Only problem is the thermostat for the fan isn't working. Easy fix though. If it keeps raining here I'm not going to have time to work on the car, I'll be busy building an Ark! B-loose
