The continuation of the exhaust manifold replacement on the 65 Ford F100.
I must confess that all the Facebook videos on how to remove a bolt after breaking off the head seemed fake. However, I had little to lose in this case.
Threaded on a nut, welded nut to bolt, heated the head with a propane torch, added some candle wax to the threads, used an impact gun, and it came out. Apparently, not everything on Facebook is fake! Now I need to get some of that blinker fluid and let the Winter air out of my tires and replace it with Summer air!

It still amazes me the things you can find on Ebay. Steakley Chevrolet where my 69 Camaro was originally sold in Texas. Found this original, metal dealership emblem.

Nothing to do on a holiday Monday except rear brakes on the truck. Good thing my brother came to help out. Thanks John!

This is a sponsored post I am sharing. Can’t say the guy is wrong. I’ve seen the same thing at the dealership I work at. Worth at least taking a look and considering.

This day in automotive history: On April 27, 2009, GM formerly announced the end of Pontiac.

1965 Ford F100. Cracked exhaust manifold. No big deal. I already have a new manifold. What could possibly go wrong? Just remove everything in the way (carb, alternator, wires, fuel lines) and unbolt it!
Oh, yea, there’s always that one bolt!

Had an appointment in Mason this morning. Of course, I parked as far away from others as possible because fewer and fewer people out there can drive or park their cars. This is what I found when I came out to the car. WTF!
There may appear to be plenty of room between the two but because of my Camaro’s doors, I was barely able to slide into the driver’s seat to leave.

Big thanks to Jason Carithers at CarzMedics for the professional reconditioning of my 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera. Paint correction, a couple body “dings” taken out, PPF, and ceramic coating. If you want to protect your investment, he is the go-to guy!

That’ll work!
