if your exhaust manifold studs are 'not too good', and this dude has offered to do it for $80, i would get that offer in writing and have it notarized. most likely they will have to be drilled out of your aluminum heads and then the manifold flanges must be shaved totally flat. i did this job myself and it cost me around $100 in materials and booze. if you went to a shop, they would likely tell you to replace the head, because almost nobody drills studs out of aluminum anymore.

Plenty of people, myself included, have had their exhaust studs professionally repaired. It isn't uncommon at all.

This is were i got my leds. I got the single led wedge base bulbs #194's
Night pics later on.
Okay I beleive its the original y-pipe on the max right now.The front of y-pipe by radiator are not that bad. But the ones behind the motor are shot. The screws rotted to the nut. The ones on the cat are simple. I said fugg that. El mechanic said $80 El mechanic got himself a customer.
If anybody knows the junk yards by Shea Stadium. Them guys do anything

This grill is the gxe. Chrome front. I moved the emblem over to the middle. Now the inner part is like primered up.If you sand that part its chrome underneath.What i did was roughed it with sandpaper the whole grill for the paint could stick.2 coats primer,3coats dupilcolor 3 coats clear.
