Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

Well I finished putting my rear brakes back together and filled my diff with fluid. What a pita it was getting the fill plug out, somebody put a cast plug in for the original, it wouldn't budge so it broke into several different pieces. Had to heat it with a torch to get it out. Luckily my brother had an original one sitting around in his pile of nuts and bolts lol. Then I finished routing the pipes on my side exhaust where they exit in front of the tires and grinded down all the welds.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

Well i finally finished painting my exhaust with the POR-20 Silver high heat exhaust paint. It looks awesome and almost matches my ceramic coated headers. I just hope it works the way they say it does and doesnt burn off.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

It's been a long month so far and I haven't been able to work on my truck much at all. I'm hoping that next month is better.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

The exhaust looks nice! kinda curious about how well the por20 will hold up, i used their por15 on a frame but havent tried the exhaust paint yet. I used some rattle can high heat ceramic on the new exhaust on my 93 but the welds still rusted in a few short months.

Thank you i appreciate it, I'm also wondering how it will hold up too, my dad used regular rattle can high heat on his exhaust and it flaked off within a year. I am hoping the por-20 lasts a little longer considering it was like $30 a pint.
