Hey John 348: Ya, your photo looks great. It ain't Elvira, but it's really great anyway! Good going! Nope, Elvira doesn't need any restoration and she is all original. Just ask Billy Boy Barker because he has been to the "promise land" and he will agree with me.
Mr Mack: Well......you know when some dudes restore their cars that they either paint their mufflers black or they leave them the natural color? Well, Elvira's muff-ler is all original and it is still the stock color.....red. But, that is in tune with her whole stock appearance because her top, under the black cover, is actually red too. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Okay dudes.....like John 348 said, we made four pages  Now, I think that Billy Boy Barker is going to let us try for five pages, so let's go for it while we still can. His wrist is getting better so we don't have much time! :eek:

I think it is a stainless exhaust, last a long time and really don't show the milage. I know my Yukon has it, so why not Elvira? :p

Stainless steel is stock for your Yukon, but it's not stock equipment for Elvira. She still retains her original stock muffler,and it is in great working order, so there is no reason to change it! :eek: :eek:

Hey Donald! Welcome aboard! Nope, no dual stock mufflers for Elvira, only one single stock muffler and it hasn't been replaced either. But, you are right, it still does "puuuuurrrrrr" like a kitten! :eek:

Too bad that you don't...but ya have never really been with the complete program anyway. ha ha!  :eek:

We did four pages before Billy Boy Barker cut us off. He has been kind to us this time, and he won't be back on line until tonight, so now is our chance to make five....maybe even six pages before he stops us. But, one thing to remember is that Elvira is one of his favorite car-related subjects so we need to go for the record while we still can!

Speaking of accessories I have a question. I am restoring a 62 biscayne, I am going to put the radio in, but I have a NOS manual tunning radio , and I have a push button radio that is used and will need service, which one would guys use? Believe it or not this was the dinner conversation :confused:
