Exhaust manifold looks great. I painted mine with POR high temp manifold paint and it’s already starting to show very discolored “hot spots” after only 3 months. Disappointed with that and hope yours works out better!Painted the exhaust manifold with some high temp cast iron grey, should look alright when bolted back to the aluminum intake manifold and back on the head.

Where did you get that pipe holder? I gotta get one
steering wheel. Well at they said if I put the sticker on no one would know the difference. 
I bought it here: Pipe Accessories Pipe Rest for Car | Buy Pipe Accessories Pipe Accessories at Smokingpipes - https://www.smokingpipes.com/accessories/pipe%20accessories/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=1200
It has two holes on the bottom allowing you to mount it anywhere you wish. Good luck!
Oh hell no!
Been doing a little creativity with some parts left of my 40 I had in highschool and filling in the blank spots with old parts from Cruiser Corps. Thanks Mike, Adam. Still have a little bit left but coming together.
@blueyednd that bend is not correct. It is very common (so common most think it’s oem..) it usually happens when someone steps on or puts to much weight on the center console. Just a Friendly heads up. Mine was that way too when I got mine.

Bought a set of 74 seats including the console. That one was still straight. My 73 and 76 both had the custom bend. Can see it on the 73 and 74 models since passengers in the back could let themselves out with a hatch. 75 plus had ambulance doors. But usually the bend is caused by someone stepping on the console. Personally knowing it's bend I would straighten it out. Already did it on my 76.

I have a problem with 40s
New fuel sender and ignition for my troopy. Both of them have been screwed up since I’ve had this 45.
Two of four frozen wheel cylinders on the front axle. Years of neglect and old oil left them completely stuck. Had to heat one along with some penetrating oil to loosen it up. There are some great tutorials on Mud that made it easy to do. Of course it took lots of elbow grease to free them up, rebuilding was super easy. I also made some new brake lines, can’t beat the Titan flare tool. It’s worth the money and much better than the tool set I bought at Napa.
Cold weather... take some large format film photography....

Installed a new radiator. 
Nice to see large format applied to a 40, amazing detail and grey scale. Doubt my Nikon D850 can capture that amount of detail, especially in the shadows. Thanks for sharing
