When installing New Exhaust system on 63 Avanti, is it required to install JB Weld product on the ends of the pipes before installing into muffler and other pipes to prevent from Exhaust leeks ?

Age and sickness has slowed my 10000 piece puzzle 63 Avanti, this Summer has been just doing what I can for now , Installed new brake lining and brakes , almost complete, was missing Parking brake link, not installed previously, Also received all new Exhaust (not installed), and Rear Cross over member (not installed) not sure what this latter fall weather will help me, or not !

Where can i get a set of Rear Parking Brake Links for my 63 Avanti, Installing new brakes, Links not present.

Anyone know of a Company in Chicago, Il area that would furnish and install Avanti 1963 Hog Troughs / Thanks, Feez

With a rebuild on my 63 Avanti Carburetor, car started up, no Black smoke at exhaust, let run for 10 minutes, then antifreeze coming out of radiator expansion tank tube, car over heating, possible radiator cap or thermostat, car has been sitting for long time

Avanti been sitting for a very long time, Flat tires, rear window blown out, Driver side interior door rusted out, interior just to much damage to mention, Fuel tank and lines along with fuel pump shot, mice have made it their Hyatt, their food was a specialty, Seats and 16 gauge stranded with tw insullation, All fan belts need replacement, Battery belongs in the Studebaker museum, all exhaust system shot, Engine area a disaster Now the Bad News, The Turning lights work !! After removing everything I could, then draining the old oil, I filled it with WD40, then let it set for a couple of weeks, drain the WD40, installed new oil, made up a temporary gas can with a line going to the gas filter, Temporary Battery, After a few modifications, "It Started" Blows black smoke off the Port side exhaust, hoping thats a kind of leaking Carb problem, and not something Major, the license plate on back is rusted solid, but you can read "1973" (I was 31 then)
