Exhaust

Here is the exhaust I finished cutting and welding today . I used 409 stainless steel pipe . I think this was the hardest part of project. I also raped the down pipe with exhaust rap tape .

Ok, I know my stuff is not crap. Some things you have done I see are better than what I have done and some things I do that you have not done. Your attention to detail on the engine and suspension are super! I love the exhaust! Is is single 3 inch?

Your stuff is awesome! Only reason I saw it is because you took the interior pics from down low (or maybe the truck is high) I paint the gas, brake and e-brake pedals, paint the heater vents and duct work black under the middle of the dash. Mask off the dash insert and paint the border silver along with the "custom deluxe" badge. Are you going to put the warning stickers ect. on the dash? I think it helps break up the green paint and add some color inside.

Little stuff really, overall I think its a very high quality job one of the best by anybody ever!!

Dave the truck sits high , I didn't catch the things you saw. I will touch up theses
areas . As far as the warning stickers I have no idea where to get some of theses stickers.
If you give me a vendor for some of these stickers I would appreciate it.

Also thanks for the complement.

1028

CPAPPY, you can get the stencils here: Caution & Warning Decals

Like I said the job you have done on your truck AWESOME, and the things I saw were VERY small to the over all resto job you have done. We are all here to help grow the hobby and help each other on our trucks!

What would you ask for the truck if you sold it tomorow..? I still have a client looking for a cherry M-1028 after driving mine for a week.

Have you given any thought to a set of rock sliders from Shakem-Deep..?
That would be the icing on the cake.
