They were very enthusiastic!! Can't say they ever had seen the like before but first of all, anyone involved in auto mechanics loves old cars, so you are already a welcome client. The other point expressed by all, was that they were so happy to have such a detailed model to work from. Doing it in wood, even the scrap pieces I did it in, allowed them to make the bends very accurately and not have to worry about me coming back and having to do it again. The last issue they had was that I needed to bring in the new donut gasket so that they could get the collar on the exhaust pipe in the proper place for a good seal. I was fortunate too that the car still had the original collar that attached the exhaust to the manifold. There is nothing currently used in the new cars that would retrofit.
Afterward I made sure I called them back to let them know how well it went together, even with a shade tree guy like me doing the work!
