    to clear up any confusion because math and machinist have 2 different languages. This will clear up the error in the post.......:devil:
    I have noticed this quite a bit lately on the forums. It's important this is correct.

    Actually, this idea has some merit. I, for one, would give serious consideration to investing in a tee commemorating this historical event -- something particularly clever about the rebuild, tack on some DT, RMW, and MA logos, etc. and there you have it. Probably have to sell a bunch to make a difference, but who knows?

    Love me some cotton..... Like my Tee's cotton.... Especially 100% cotton... Folks that means it's pure unadulterated cotton.....:Thumbsup: Nothing but the best for M/A members....:D Did I mention that the "REBUILT" Tee's are 100% pure cotton???? That means it's not metric or Canadian, but PUUUUUUURE cotton......:D

    Back on track there....

    Ordered parts for the exhaust. The current Hushpower resonators are blown out. They rattle at idle and are LOUD. The LOUD is not as bad as the rattling of the internals at idle.

    Not wanting to pay Hushpower prices only to blow them out again I went with something less expensive. Vibrant Performance resonaters. The fun part was finding 2x 2.25x12. Like no one in the US has them. I even called Vibrant, based in Canada. they said good luck, but if I wait 3 weeks they have more coming. Finally found some at SFX Performance Parts and Auto Accessories in TX. They are now on the way.

    Speaking of "way". Spoke to him today too. Need new rotors for the TSW BDM BBK. These aren't standard off the shelf Coleman Machine rotors but a custom rotor from them that comes slotted or plain and in a left and right version. Way has some slotted ones that are now on the way to Detroit Tuned.
