I was unaware of walt when I went to Gardner but I will be getting some pipes from him this summer if my car doesnt sell...He must be getting on in years...seems like he has been around a long time?

I also picked up a Gardner Exhaust set...tail pipes looked great...I have not installed it yet for fit but I did notice that the chambered pipes were not crimped as much as the originals and walts.

Hard to say till you take the handle off...At lot of people break them or have broken them taking the handle off.. once you get the allen screws out dont twist it pull it straight up...take a look at some pictures of one disassembled from a manual or on BRO's site so you know whats coming. Hopefully the two tabs are intact on the lever. Hope this helps

Thanks Bob...the closer i get to spring the more I want to hang on to it....Having it on Ebay did one good thing..it put me in touch with a previous owner who knew the complete history on the car...It was a one owner garaged car till 1983/84 in Willmington Delaware when it was sold with 33K on it...buyer had it for a year or so then it ended up at Delaware Olds where it sat indoors for about 10 years in the back....the owner had plans on racing it but never did...put no miles on it..and then it move to a couple of owners who also babied it...and I already knew the rest of its history....Nothing like getting the history of a car

I thought someone with a good eye might spot it...I dont really want to sell it so I wont be disappointed if it doesnt go...I have another 65 that is pretty much identical except that its a clone and is going to be on the road this summer as a full time driver. Having two and not having the deep pockets of some people means one should go. And Im not getting any younger at 55.
The 442 is the easiest to sell and the toughest to lose....Its hard when you get one so original ( like the mint original tinted windshield). Im almost afraid to drive it lest someone smack me or a rock hit the windshield.
Then there is the temptation to bring it back up to snuff....repaint, detail the frame etc etc...Where does it end...It would be better off in a nicer climate where it can be driven year round.....parking it for six months sucks...Anyway, we will see what happens...If it doesnt go I would like to bring it down to the Nats this summer and spend sone time in the area..

I used PPG Omni Acrylic Urethane in saffron yellow on my clone project (not the one in the picture)...Cheap...reasonably good quality...Easy to fix mistakes

According to the dealer sheet tilt column wasnt available on 442s. That cant be right. Mine has tilt...pretty sure it came that way and had the wood wheel option

Further on the PUI door panels...I am still in the process of assembling mine...I did the switchover of the tack strips already...not a big deal...how do you secure the new board to the top metal plate...the new board is a little shorter than the original as well
