I'm prob going to pick up a 'slightly used' 110 suitcase TIG set-up & start practicing though. I just need to move forward now & can't delay for the learning curve.

Your routing looks nice BTW! Very similar to how mine is routed.
Yeah, I came to the conclusion it's not a show truck, so I can live with function over form on this one. Still prolly one of the nicest exhaust set-ups I've had on a vehicle Thanks for the compliment- where's your pics?

Thanks! I sure hope so. I will start on assembling the bed this week, then it's time for some color! Other than that, it's just knick-knacks. Busy times though with work, work-related travel, kids activities, birthdays, wedding planning, school, etc, etc... We'll see- stay tuned for June 18th
