Bennett68C10 · 05-12-2011, 07:48 PM

Got my Moser 5 lug conversion axles in today. Now I have everything to convert my axle to 5 lug and get my coys mounted and balanced and bolted on this weekend. I can't wait

Bennett68C10 · 05-14-2011, 04:34 PM

Bennett68C10 · 05-14-2011, 04:37 PM

My exhaust is finally all welded up including my h-pipe. Looks awesome.

Exhaust looks good- I can appreciate the amount of effort it takes- nice work

Bennett68C10 · 05-15-2011, 11:07 AM

Thank you that means alot, the exhaust did take alot of effort to keep it tucked up inside the frame the whole way including the h-pipe.

Bennett68C10 · 05-23-2011, 06:53 AM

Well I finished putting my rear brakes back together and filled my diff with fluid. What a pita it was getting the fill plug out, somebody put a cast plug in for the original, it wouldn't budge so it broke into several different pieces. Had to heat it with a torch to get it out. Luckily my brother had an original one sitting around in his pile of nuts and bolts lol. Then I finished routing the pipes on my side exhaust where they exit in front of the tires and grinded down all the welds.

Bennett68C10 · 06-13-2011, 01:20 PM

Well i finally finished painting my exhaust with the POR-20 Silver high heat exhaust paint. It looks awesome and almost matches my ceramic coated headers. I just hope it works the way they say it does and doesnt burn off.

Bennett68C10 · 06-13-2011, 01:21 PM

A couple more pics

Bennett68C10 · 06-13-2011, 01:22 PM

It's been a long month so far and I haven't been able to work on my truck much at all. I'm hoping that next month is better.

fencepost · 06-13-2011, 01:36 PM

What brand mufflers are those? I've scanned back through the build but can't find it. Nice work looking good.

Bennett68C10 · 06-13-2011, 02:04 PM

Thanks they are Spintech Super Pro Streets. I got them from Maryland Speed for $150.00 for the pair, 2.5" inlet/outlet.

gringoloco · 06-13-2011, 07:34 PM

The exhaust looks nice! kinda curious about how well the por20 will hold up, i used their por15 on a frame but havent tried the exhaust paint yet. I used some rattle can high heat ceramic on the new exhaust on my 93 but the welds still rusted in a few short months.

mcbassin · 06-25-2011, 10:20 PM

Looks like a great project! I will follow along too. You are really knocking this build out.

Thank you i appreciate it, I'm also wondering how it will hold up too, my dad used regular rattle can high heat on his exhaust and it flaked off within a year. I am hoping the por-20 lasts a little longer considering it was like $30 a pint.
