    To mean to bother you but just saw a reply from you. You are my West Coast double with a little more HP! I’m #178 built in 2004. 67 yrs old and have over 50K on my car. Still work on it myself and love this old dinosaur. Keep driving it!

    what IMLost said. Alistair is high quality and a perfectionist. He's not lightning fast, but you will be very happy with the result. He's done a lot of work on my old BDR.

    Just spoke to Perry at Iconic, and he has one in stock for me, should be on its way today. Now I'll go out to the shop and see if I can take the broken one apart without destroying it completely. ...

    My BDR came with the slip fit headers but I converted them to flanged headers to cut down on the backfires. Cheers
