I happened to be at the Amelia Island Bonhams Auction in May, and was shocked to see mongrel's beautiful creation come on the stage. I had no idea it was there but I recognized it immediately from this Forum.
Doug, somehow I blew out a face weld on my passenger-side catalytic converter. Gary removed his cats when he installed the long pipes on your GT. What did he do with his cats? Do you have them by chance? I don't and I'm sure Amy doesn't. If he threw them away I'll never forgive him! Enjoy the...
I was there to see your Blue Beauty. Congratulations. That was a tough Class. I was the guest of the owner of a '60 Caddy Eldorado Biarritz, winner of Best Preserved Car.
Another thing to consider is that you didn't drive around long enough for the heater to be effective. It takes my GT a very long time to throw heat after engine warm up: ten minutes?

Rick at Sarasota Ford has done clutches. Totally reliable and talented, but will be pricey through the dealership. Also, they keep Rick very busy and you'll probably have to wait your turn. May be worth a call though.
The GT tech (Rick) at Sarasota Ford is terrific. He is meticulous and services many FGT's and NFTG's in the area. If that's who gets sent, you're getting the best. If not, drive to Sarasota after making an appointment to have Rick do the job.
