Give Ken at The Bus Company a try.

Hiya Dave,

I'd second Dick's suggestion of doing business with Ken.

However, if you strike out there you could also try Busted Bus in Colorado. They're up on the web at http://www.bustedbus.com/

I have a used stock muffler for a 73 that should clean up nice. It needs a new tailpipe. I think the EGR port is plugged; I'll have to check. Let me know if you are interested. I can send it with Colin again or maybe bring it to Maupin if you plan on being there. I will also be going thru Seattle on my way to Bellingham on June 11 and could just throw it out on the freeway some agreed upon place - folks would just think it was junk and you could stop and pick it up at your convenience

I can send a pic if you like. Tim

Sweet deal Tim. Send me a pic as Busted doesn't have any and Ken said he was out when I asked about a month ago.

thanks,

dave

I've emailed Ken twice on some parts and haven't gotten any response. Maybe he's on vacation? Seems odd.

Hang in there. I've found Ken's e-mail protocol to be a little "lax". His online list of available parts can be way outta date also. That makes calling him a good alternative.

Well it's a race between him and Chris now. Survival of the fittest!

What are you needing?...I might be able to help you out.

Seatbelts for the middle bench seat. 2 sets - for 2 passengers. I guess they are longer than the back because the go all the way to the floor.

2 sets of backing plates for the disc brake pads.

I assumed you were looking for exhaust pieces. Sorry/

Nope. But dhoch14 is.

Yup...I need the OEM 72-74 exhaust + tailpipe.

Please help me leave empi in the dust. :)

I've got a really nice stock muffler and tailpipe, however, there is one stud stripped on the muffler. I think it could be fixed easily by someone with a decent wire feed welder. I don't have the heart to chuck it just because of that, and I no longer need it as my new t-bird setup was delivered today.

Looks like Satchmo has a solid exhaust he is wiling to part with. Plus he's in the PNW so it will be easier to gather.

Any PDXers or Colin wiling to pick-up this from Tim at Maupin for me? It is looking grim on my attendance. Beers at the lab are waiting for you......
