Hi Roger,

I'm sorry to say that my guy has closed his doors. His father opened the business in 1955 and made a good living. The son, who did my car, took over, but was forced out by the big guys. There were no patterns as he built it as he went and spent the better part of a day doing it. The work is superb!!

I'm currently looking for a new shop as I'm finishing up my '55 Imperial Newport. Should I find one I'll advise, but in the mean time I'm sure there are qualified people in your area. Check with some of the street rod guys as they are use to having custom work done.

Thanks John and all who commented on Kepich. What an amazing outpouring on this company(sounds like Enron and World Com rolled into one).

The fellow who is seeking someone in Southern Cal that I noted needs 3 or 4 exhaust systems for 57 C's is Timo Tanskanen(most of you all know him). He lost his exhaust guy(closed the shop) and looking for a first class alternative. 

John L. could you give me the address or phone number of the fellow that did yours. Did he save a pattern of your system(for my B) for his pipe bender machine? I will pass contact info to Timo. I have been ragging on Timo for a couple of years to get a computer and go online. So far he thinks it will slow him down but I think that he is weakening. Next time he is up here I will give him a tour of the Listserv to see what he is missing.

Thanks again to all of you
Roger

Hi Roger,

Yes I'm out here listening !! I purchased NOS 4 bolt Dodge Truck manifolds and had to have the pipe flanges made. We did a run of several pairs on the flanges and I sold them through the club. My source is now gone for those. The gaskets come in the complete engine set through Felpro. If you need the number separate I can provide.

I found a local shop that did quality work and the prices reflected such. The system was custom built to the car and was worth every penny. It really made a difference in the way the car performs not to mention the attention it draws from the exhaust note.

I've heard stories about someone who does exhaust systems in Florida and it has all been bad. Don't know if it is these folks, but my thought is you will get a better product if you find the right place and stand there and watch them build it.

Just rebuilt the engine in my 300C and purchased a set of Sanderson short headers for it. The car is much healthier now and warrants an exhaust upgrade, so when time and money allows I may do that one as well.

I do have another set of the Dodge Truck manifolds and flanges that I'm saving for that rainy day. Then last but not least I purchased a set of the factory cast headers used on J's and K ram cars with the short ram intakes. For years they have been setting on my shelf and if I ever get the urge they may end up on my F.

Good luck with the hunt,

John Lazenby

In particular I would like someone to make up for me the high performance exhaust system for a 56 300 B which was offered the 355 HP optional motor. I do have the exhaust manifolds. John Lazenby if you are listening, I know that you had such a system built for your B. Are you happy with the results and if so provide info?
