I didn't go today, due to small craft warnings. Didn't want to add to the chaos. lol Usually its Coast Guard, and Chicago Police.

I have a feeling there will be lots of them in the play pen tomorrow.

I never have. New Years Eve is just around the corner. Might have to send one up.:D

I am going to take the header over to Ateco, who is a CMI distributor, tomorrow morning and they are going to pressure test it.. I am not really set up to test this properly and feel confident about...

Daredevil, can you explain a little better on how to test the header. Do I apply water to the nipples on the runners and block off the end of the header?

I am afraid of that. I am going to run it on the hose then pull it back off and look to see if any water is in there. I think I'm screwed. Can these be fixed or am I SOL?

Miami OS -The paint...
