Re: Headers on 1951 Ford convertible with Fordomatic

I'm sorry if I misled you. I don't have Fordomatic, I'm just saying that Red's made 2 different set of headers for my stick with O/D cars and they were great. Again, give them a call.

Re: Headers on 1951 Ford convertible with Fordomatic

Re: Best Wax to Restore original Black Paint

For a wax, I used Meguiar's Carnoba Plus. To maintain a water beading shine later on, I occasionally used Turtle Spray & dry after a car wash. Spray on while wet, wipe dry with a towel.

Re: We must honor all veterans

Ditto on "all veterans", especially folks who saw combat. Always liked the old saying :

Re: Red's headers

O K Pete, you got me. My "little gray cells" ain't what they used to be. I remember the bicycle and actually like them better than the Schwinn. Just like I like our old Flatheads better than S M C
