Hello
Although I'm not a metalurgist, I almost think the pods on the 55's could
be re-cast in brass of bronze using the lost sand method, and then plated. Mine
are complete except the bottom portions where moisture hung out-replacing the
lost metal would probably involve welding in a radius of 20 degrees to the
existing round circle. I would try it if I had a spare-but every old one I've
looked at was worse than mine- Has anyone else successfully had these
repaired?
There must be a bunch of 55 owners out there!
And yes, I forgot the Buick and Lincoln exhausts, which along with the Imps
and Cads also had these through-the-bumper exhausts. Beautiful idea-WHY didn't
they use stainless??
