Re: 2011 HRPT "ROAD RESCUE"

Glad to hear it Bull. While we didn't need you this year, it was reassuring knowing you were a phone call away. You did stop and offer assistance to us , but we had the situation in hand, thanks for the pretzels!

If you are going, I guess I will have to go too. Can't have you puttin in a full day of work, without feedin ya off the MotorHead Grill ! Next year may end up being less food, and more beer. Can you fix a broken leg on a crashed fold out chair?

Geez I hope next year I don't have a mechanical issue like last year. That trans repair about kicked all our asses. Sure glad you were there to lend a hand . . . and canopy.

Still thankful DTB

Bull,

Do you do side jobs throughout the year ? I broke a right side exhaust manifold on my 351 Cleveland. Unfortunately it's a 4 barrel variety and they are hard to find. I've bought a replacement that is undamaged but if you are interested in repairing this broken one, I'll gladly pay you to do it.

I echo the others in saying it was a pleasure to meet you and a comfort to have you along on the tour. Fortunately we didn't need you but there were plenty who did. I'll bet there were several folks who had never even heard of Bangshift until they ran into you, and you certainly represented the spirit of hot rodding very well.

Thanks a bunch and see you in 10 months and two weeks..... or so.

Hey there Bull.....I was looking for you in Bowling Green when I ripped the shock mount off the Judge and broke the shock. I was able to get it back together and then...........no more than 3 minutes later you showed up at the hotel parking lot!!! :D :D :D It is good to know there is someone out there to help if needed, look forward to seeing you in June!!

Re: 2011 HRPT "ROAD RESCUE"

Hi Bull-
I seen you running around. Cool deal man, good to hear about next year.

I was talking with Dean about this, and they are cast. I have aspare set for him as well, from what I was told, I don't know alot but I was told to just v notch the cracks, drill a clean hole at the end of each crack, heat the manifold up in an oven if possible to around 450 degrees, the blast to rose red with a rosebud torch and then braze with a high silicon bronze rod. I am fuzzy on this, but I had a set of manifolds I sold for a cobrajet 351c to a local guy when I sold a spare 351c CJ setup, and this is how it was explained to me for the cast iron Ford used on the manifolds.

Dean, I still got to get the set blasted for ya man!

Re: 2011 HRPT "ROAD RESCUE"

silicone bronze works great but be prepared to shell out the bucks for those filler rods.
thats why i go the Ni rods route. works good without the added cost.
remember to post heat dont let it cool right back to ambient thats like pouring water on the weld.
