Nope!

THAT.....is BADASS!! I would drive that.

There aren't enough people in existence to force me to allow that to happen to me. I promise I would become Chuck Norris' bigger and tougher brother.

Dolph Lundgren as Gunnar is one of the coolest characters in The Expendables too. Stallone keeps his friends employed as does Adam Sandler and Clint Eastwood. I dig that type of loyalty.

She is DEFINITELY worth watching though. Fits those leggings absolutely perfectly.

I remember that race! Didn't Stewart lead about the first 35-40 laps or so and then a flat tire forced him into the pits? It seemed that when the T260 was out front, it was OK, even though it had the nose downforce of a potato, it still had enough tire and engine to make it able to get by the slower cars quickly without upsetting the car. It was before they mounted that ridiculous wing on the front trying to correct that stupid front end design which caused it even more grief, BUT, it certainly was COOL looking with that rounded front nose and has been the benefactor of many a photo/poster shoot. I have that nose shot at home now. But, back to the race, wasn't Stewart leading Hulme and Revson up until he had a flat tire and that literally cost him the race? And if I recall, the pit work for Stewart was actually very fast for the time, but once back in the pack, he could never catch back up. I truly LOVED the CanAm Group 7 series racing. Meet safety standards, wheelbase length and width, and do whatever the hell else you want to do and race it. Nothing better than innovativeness at it's finest. Look at any other type of restrictive racing now and it pales in comparison. The beauty of the body designs, the aerodynamic experimentation, the unbelievable engine/drivetrain combinations, and the sheer courage of the drivers (ask Vic Elford about driving the Shadow MK1-"the scariest car I ever drove but it was also one of the fastest"). The beauty of the body designs (McLaren M20, Shadow DN4, Chaparral (most of them...LOL), Lola, Mirage, Porsche 917-10, and so many more are timeless in design. I have raced slot cars professionally since 1968 and ALL of the slot cars were based on either the CanAm cars or the Endurance cars (Porsche 917K, Ferrari 512M, Lola T70, etc.) so all of these cars were my "hero" cars...LOL. I wanted so badly to drive a Gulf Porsche (#20 of course) into my high school parking lot with my girlfriend, flip everyone off, and do a huge burnout-a fantasy that of course, never did or ever will come true, but was sure fun to daydream about.

I'm just glad someone besides me even knows who Jim Hall was...LOL. He was pretty innovative and even got McLaren to adopt some of his ideas, at least for a little while, but then he kind of fell behind with a couple of the weird cars (2J for example) and I did actually get to see that car run. Absolutely innovative, but completely unreliable. Group 7 CanAm racing was the best in the world and if you show someone a photo of any of the later cars (M8D or M20 McLaren, 917/10 or 917/30 Porsche, Lola T280, etc.) no one will believe those cars are 50 years old now because of the beautiful body designs and innovation on aerodynamics.

Or the Kool-Aid Dude

Jim Hall made that kind of rear wing work pretty damn well.

Anyone THAT stupid, would inevitably mess up the spelling of something even as simple as COBRA. Just look at that hot race car. Nuff said.

Surprised it didn't say CORBA on the back.

Use some heat on it and use one of these and it generally will remove pretty much any rounded head bolt: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/irwin-bolt-out-with-case-394001/9010233-p?product_channel=local&store=1721&adtype=pla&product_channel=local&store_code=1721&gclid=CjwKCAjw5fzrBRASEiwAD2OSV-L4EqMYuED6UlDHUGUL8vJ2zKtXoLbZlAecpSq8_dPczldtdfy1BRoCFMgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Canada=America's hat

You can bend it very slightly but it's very difficult to bend. My guess is your flapper bushing has moved and is allowing the wastegate to leak.

Tie rod ends-either inner or outer or both.

It's called a turbolator and it spins the oil around a screw shaped insert to cool the oil better. Hayden invented it and the patent ran out so now everyone does it too. No issues-use it. One in each h straight tube.

UP to manifold gasket

Force feed the heater core by removing the heater hoses from the engine and directly filling the heater core. Be careful not to use too much pressure and flush it gently at the same time. Used to have to do this on older Chryslers because of how the hoses were routed. Fill it to the top and plug the hoses back on and tighten the clamps. Start and run until hot and burp it again.

Post a photo. I have never seen a ball joint I couldn't separate from either side on any vehicle. Once I see exactly what you are talking about, I'll tell you how to remove it.

Wastegate flapper isn't bent. The bushing that holds the wastegate flapper shaft moved upwards in the cast iron exhaust housing. They can be a real bitch to put back into place, but as I said before, I've been able to do a few and have tried many, and generally, it wrecks the weld on the flapper shaft arm from having to hammer it while almost the entire housing is red hot. Once you have it back into place, then you have to drill out the old roll pin and over drill the hole and put a new larger roll pin in. Definitely not worth the effort unless it's all you have.

Hemi Under Glass Baby. This and Little Red Wagon were the wheelstanders back in the day. They used to race side by side on a wheelie for the whole quarter mile. Excellent photo.
