Well , now that 65GS.com is up and running again ill post some updates on the 65 gs hardtop . had the engine broke in on the dyno , that was really fun watching it come to life with the turn of a switch .
Then i got it home and set it in the chassis and proceeded to install the clutch bell housing and transmission . Started putting clutch linkage in but had to order a couple missing parts to finish that up . Waiting now for the starter to come in along with the high temp grey for the exhaust manifolds .
Ordered the exhaust for both the GS hardtop and the convertible from gardner but they are 10 to 12 weeks out .

Looks great John. It's really exciting to start putting it back together. That engine dyno looks like a great setup!

Well another small update . Both my sets of Gardner exhaust systems came in . So I went to work and got the exhaust manifolds on the 2 dr hardtop car painted in high temp cast grey and test fit the entire exhaust system loosely for now until I know it can be tightened down permanently .
Gotta say these  exhaust systems they make for these car fit really nice .
They even sent me a couple cool drinking glasses for those hot summer nights while out in the shop working .

 With the correct manifolds installation is almost too easy. I sorta whined about the price until I realized the quality?.I literally installed it quicker than I could have drove it to the muffler shop. These parts are correct and fit excellent.

 Gotta second schlepcar’s opinion on Gardner. Pricey but worth it.
