Thanks for all the comments; you guys are too kind. I could not have done this without all the help of the family here. Especially Jeffvette and Locobob that share the ideas and fixes to avoid getting into trouble. It is a PC (bright aluminum silver with clear coat) from a local shop and really wanted to use Jeffvette and Locobob for the full treatment, but shipping from Hawaii and divorce a few years ago set me back and it seems like forever to get his far. I really hope to get it going in the next month at the latest and hope all is well. Sometimes I am too meticulous and it takes so long to do something.
The bolts for the headers are the Stage 8 LT5 kit:

I'll be sure to post more as I progress.
Mahalo and Aloha!!!!
