I gotta chime in on this one...
I have to agree with the preheating before laying down the VHT paint, though if you look at my Pontiac link, I tossed my exhaust manifold into the oven at 500* and shot it hot. Laid down almost the whole can on it per the advice from the fellow who did the custom muffler work for me and so far I am very pleased with the way it is holding up.

Just my .02 cents worth on top of Dudes :metal:

Great and fast build... I am hoping my son will get bit by the bug and he and I will do a build like these some summer soon....

Good luck and thanks for all the pics... I am a photo junkie !!

Chassis looks great, it's a slow process but it's rewarding to look at what you have done. If you are like me some times you need to look at what you have done to get you inspired for all of the work ahead. I have thousands of hours ahead and still trying to figure out the finished plan. I will be watching yours looks like you have your plan and should be fun to watch.
