Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
exciting news guys... i stopped by to see my buddy Mark who owns Marco Muffler last night after work. He does all high end show quality exhaust. We have been talking about how we are going to do the exhaust since the beginning of the build... So here's the game plan. i know some of you like (Jonboy and Stitch) are familiar with the old fox body mustangs exhaust

Before you paint or anything, install the box first, then install the wiper motor, it will give you a better idea of how much metel you need to remove/notch to clear the wiper assembly (do it a little bit at a time!). You will end up with a small slit on top, but if done correctly, be barely noticable.

Can't wait to see this exhaust. Sounds like it's gonna be awesome. There's one good thing about it though. You don't have to wait on a painter. lmao

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Be sure to see if they are capable of coating the mufflers internally. I had a similar coating done to my exhaust. Unfortunately the inside of the muffler was not coated. This allowed them to rust internally, and now I have a nice shiny muffler that has holes rusted through it.....Just sayin...

well guys got more done tonight! modified and installed Jeff's fuse block cover. took most of the night but i had to make it perfect. i ended up just cutting the entire bottom out of the box because most of my wires run through the bottom. i also cut a 1 1/8" hole on the side for the wiper motor wires. i ground down just a small amount on the wiper motor so i wouldn't have to grind on the box for clearance. on to the pics!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
That box is calling for body color...but the black looks good too!
You can space out the jamb nuts too to keep the box off the fireall sheetmetal...like 1/8" or so...will prevent any paint damage. Were the instructions good/acceptable? Haven't gotten a whole lot of feedback on them yet? If you like the box, you'll LOVE the speaker brackets!
