Thanks Mike, you WAY inspired me on the exhaust setup. Only wish I could machine the bits you made and TIG the whole thing in stainless! Yours is stellar. Appreciate you checking in.

Took all I had to maintain a straight face and say, "Well, that's the way it came from the factory." Which was true for about 5 feet of the exhaust system.

I still feel like a boy Vic. I catch myself trying to talk "sense" into the runt but I'm really pretty damn proud and LOVE how his little beater sounds. It's friggen fast too. Kinda feels like you should wear a helmet.
The builder kit I got is awesome. You'd for sure appreciate the quality. Bends are spot-on, de-burred perfectly and lightly coated with oil. The finish looks perfect and they practically gift wrapped each piece. I got the box one day after I ordered. Couldn't be happier for under $200 and I'll have left overs!

Believe me I'm glad too, just hope I can keep it going for a while and get this thing looking more like a truck again. Looking forward to another Steiner update!
Not much tonight, didn't light the fire until after 8:00. Got some kool tools off the brown truck, tacked up the pieces I fitted last night and started on the passenger side. Little tweaking left on that, then I can start on the tee's and the balance pipe.
