Very cool.  Looks like you'll have this car until 6-700k miles or until your steering wheel falls off.

That's the plan, actually I'd love to get the odometer to come back around to all zeros!

I guess that depends on your point of view, turn an H on its side and you have an I. :)

The main point is they haven't bent, and I think if they were going to, they would have. My main fear on the mileage goal is being taken out by a drunken idiot some day, or something else completely out of my control.

Thanks, No that manifold has never been on ebay, it represents around 280 hours of my labor, the majority of the polishing was done with a die grinder, and abrasive roles.
