496FE (Brian) to the rescue...
 
Was preparing ol' SPF747 Friday night for a couple Saturday car events when I discovered that my passenger sidepipe bracket had cracked clean off. I gave Brian ("496FE" on CC) a call and told him that I was pretty much out of the running for the weekend.

His quick response was "Heck, bring it on over and let's stitch that up!" Luckily for me Brian lives about 5 miles away. So off I went to his place and here's a cell phone pic of Brian mig welding the bracket back together, on the car around 10pm, using several layers of masking tape as a heat shield (it works!).

Thanks again, Brian! :)

Sometimes it's not about what you know but who you know that matters. ;)

Who knew he would actually come in handy one day? The only thing more surprising is that he could squeeze under your car far enough to do the job!!!:LOL: Like a friend of ours always says - it's not the cars, it's the people...

Wow, that's a helluva a great guy.

I see he had his welding outfit on too, flip flops and shorts. :LOL:

Lying on Brian's garage floor, :eek: now there's a selfless act of courage, so that's pretty impressive Dean. He stood up when he re-welded the tabs on my headers so he must like you better.:3DSMILE:

Yeah, these little torque monsters are hell on sidepipe brackets. Maybe if I had an FE I wouild be able to auto-lube the entire underside of the car every drive and this sort of thing wouldn't happen. :3DSMILE:

Ever wonder why those BB guys are so good at fixing things? Practice makes perfect, right?!;)

Nothing wrong with that uniform. Works for me every day of the week, because as Uncle Buck once said, "This is W-I don't have to go to work today". I parked right next to Dean and the repair was fabulous. Looks permanent to me!
