Further update and progress on the V-8 headers project.

Packard friend Roy picked up a few, but not all of the duplicate flanges from my alternate source in SoCal (near where he lives) and since he will be attending a bowling tournament Fri/Sat in Las Vegas, he stopped by my place in Pahrump yesterday (Thu) for a visit and delivery of said parts (thanks, Roy!). They look good. I now have enough flanges to complete the P-side prototype and the first production set.

Roy stayed overnight in my spare bedroom after a guy's night in with beer, pizza, talk of Packards and viewing a couple of SciFi DVDs. He was a big help this AM in trial fitting the D-side steel prototype to the 55 (Flipped) Clipper. The fit is looking really good although (as expected) a couple of "tweaks" had to be done.

I'll have digipix of that install tomorrow.
