If you're going to go with a post count, I better get in my 1.8 cents worth [Canadian currency]while I can. The FE community isn't huge and guys like Barry, Dennis, Blair, Brent etc. have already earned good reputations. Thats why so many people here step up
to defend them.
As for the guy's manifold , it came but it was $$$$$$$$. No wonder with 'a guy named Art on the box', UPS charges by weight.
Sorry just couldn't resist.     Rick

 

 For gas and oil leaks I use stuff called Sealall. Comes in a tube that looks like a tube of model car glue. It works great for gas, oil, water, pretty much any kind of leak, as long as its not a big hole. I've used it on gas lines, gas tanks, oil lines etc. You can paint over it when your done. They sell it here in Canada so I would think its available in the US and elsewhere. 

I've been lurking here since you opened this shop Jay and skulking around the FE Forum for the last 12 years so maybe it's time to introduce myself. My names Rick and I'm an FEholic. Live in London Ontario, retired, and spend way too much time with my cars. I have a 'green 63 500 Fastback, a white '64 500 XL Fastback and a second blue '64 XL that's giving it's life to make the white one whole.
 Great site, solid bunch of guys on here and I've picked up a lot of good FE information.
 As for what I'm doing this weekend, You don't wanna know. It involves taking the body off one XL and putting it on the frame of the other XL. It features a rental unit, couple of chainfalls, questionable rafters, structural integrity and things that would give an engineer nightmares. So I'll spare you the details. lol
Anyway I hope everyone has a good Easter, Rick
