Man, you exhaust turned out awesome. Do you have good luck with your exhaust coater? I had a full 4"-5" kit done for a show truck we built and it turned gold and eventually came off. I wasn't too pleased.

Great fab work as usual.

I love that you are using the rivets and trying to make things look original where possible.

The one you did is harder to make and shows the skills you have. Great work as usual.

You should. You have it figured out now and the next ones shouldn't take anywhere near as long to produce. I'm sure they would sell well.
