Great Job you do great work. Where did you get the exhaust coating and how much was it?

The exhaust work is magnificent but quite honestly a chunk of flex pipe from NAPA would work just as well :bonk:

Also do you happen to have a hood for a 79 Trailfire?

OK OK, just kidding, can't wait to see (that means RIDE) this thing.

Pro Strip in Fort Wayne, IN did the muffler on my 78 Cross Country. It wasn't a great muffler so it doesn't look as good as Joes.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The coating was done by Professional Plating in Wi. http://www.proplating.com/specialty-coatings.php
I believe it was around $200? Time will tell if it holds up.

My son and daughter helped out with the sand blasting. They both thought it was fun at first!

As I remember, mine was quite a bit higher than that. Around $400.00 for muffler and exhaust manifold.

I can't hardly remember how factory parts go back together let alone to manufacture something like this from "scratch" per say. I admire all of you guys who build your own mods. My hats off to you guys. I too, can't wait to see it in person.
Always remember-Any parts leftover is money in your pocket.
