i was going to work on your hood today, I uncovered it, and it made me ill



Im wondering if when I make the lines straight on the hood that it

doesnt increase the gap between the fender and the hood, hopefully its closer in those areas and it will even it out, which do you perfer or is there no preference?

What do you mean custom exhaust work sucks? The only hard part I could see would be the mandrel bends. Are you using curved pieces welded to straights?
you're the theoretical guy! exhausts are under the car, they are hot oily stinky and its under the dirty car

go buy a space heater from sears or something, it makes working on the car like 100x better...especially in the NE.



you should have just bought one.



famous last words "why buy one, I got a welder, we can make one up for $20"


lol, im thinking thats how 75% of the ricer's cars are made



"bah who needs formed aluminum, lets just connect a bunch of cans together, not only do we make an exhaust, we get to drink!"



this is not meant as a dis, big ups for making your own exhaust as long as you do it correctly, im making fun of thsoe who do it but dont do it right.

That and I am so used to dealing with fucked up **** at the mill I (used to) work at that a custom exhaust job sounds more like fun than frustration to me.



Look at what I did to my car's bumper. I had time on my hands and cut it up, made a cardboard form, glassed it inside and out, filled it, glassed it again, more filling and sanding, etc. Work is fun! Come on Vosko, you know you are loving this. You know the TII is your true calling!
