Today would have been Pappaw's 72nd birthday. I'm not sure how much I saw him wear them, but the two Dorman hats he had were always part of my mental image of him. So one sits in the Camaro and one sits in the Mustang at all times.
The old intake bolts were so cruddy they're never going back on the car. I will probably order a set soon so I can pull the engine via carb lift plate. One of his genius decisions when building the garage was an iron beam across the ceiling with a chain setup specifically for pulling engines so I already have a cherry picker set up.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!
