I loved the description of the muffler shop guy. A guy that has done some muffler fab for me in the past does it the same way. I would be blind, not to mention the headakes! It's always a great feeling to hear the engine run and to be able to drive it. Looking forward to seeing the bed on the truck.

I'm assuming your salvage operator is like the ones I know, the first thing they do is cut the Cats off the exhaust. If that is his MO, I would love to buy the complete crossover pipe - less the cats - (I do want the manifold flanges also). I can sub in a short piece of pipe to make up where the cats went. I could pick it up later this summer while visiting relatives on the Mississippi GC.

Take care, and congrats again on your progress.
