Thanks very much. I suspected these areas, but It is always nice to get confirmation.

Thanks Frank. Great tips. I would not have thought about the header. My buddy has a custom shop. Mostly deals with traditional customs, lead sleds, at restos. This is slightly out of his wheel house so I am going to help a bit and see if we can move this toward a mild PT build.

Thanks Again.
