I need a coffee can

You could look virtually anywhere and find one of these laying around in the recent past, but now they are not to be found at all.  I need one to make my exhaust quiet enough to drive the Buick to Carrollton to have the new exhaust put on.

I tried on Saturday to break loose the nuts which secure the Y pipe the exhaust header, but it's gonna take more than what I have to do this job.  I even used the new 1/2" drive breaker bar I bought, but they would not budge.

While I was under there I found that if I had a small coffee can, I could cut out both ends and then cut the side so that I could form the can around the old Y pipe where it connects to the exhaust pipe.  Then use a couple of large radiator clamps and that should make it quiet enough for the trip.

Probably would not last for much longer than the 30 minute drive over the river, but that is all I need to get the car over there.  While they are at it, might as well see if they can determine what's wrong the charging system and bleed the brakes, etc.

I have an alternator and brackets to change it over, but I figure if it's just a matter of replacing the voltage regulator I might give the old generator a try first.  This car only has 60,000 miles on it, so I would think the generator should still be good.

Heck, while they have the car up on the lift, might as well do the oil change and lube it as well.  Stuff like this is just much easier with the car raised on a lift instead of me rolling around in my yard trying to do it.  I really need a garage.
