Thanks for all the comments !

I live in a fairly rural part of Michigan in between Lansing and Detroit and there's a local guy that does exhausts out of his pole barn. He has a pipe bender and everything. He charged me 350$ total for the install (parts and everything). We don't smog here so no cats !

Living in the rust belt as we do....I flew all the way to Oklahoma for this truck and drove it home. I will not drive it in the winter up here.
You can get underneath this thing and start undoing bolts without PB Blaster or anything.

I guess you would be really pissed if you saw my pretty well rust free 70 Pontiac Lemans Sport Convertable. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
My 88 Burb has NO rust. my wifes 89 Accord is also rust free.
 
Very nice looking truck. Did you have the paint done at a shop, or do it yourself?

To everyone else, lets not start talking about rust...it makes me sad. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif Truthfully, I've learned to "accept" rust and just plan on buying a 'burb from the south in a couple years and swapping stuff over. That won't happen until my truck can sit for the salty winters and isn't needed for plowing anymore.

You've done a nice job on that Sub. I had an 88 same color as yours was. Same problems with paint, but did exactly as you did, went to a solid dark blue and really liked it. Also did the 33" tires, 4" lift and 513 Cad engine. Wished I had gone with a BBC instead though. Love those Subs, lots of room and a great ride. Nice seats and console too.
 
that's a really nice looking sub. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

personally i would have stuck with the original paint. i liked the stripe. repainted the hood though.

got plans for lockers, winchs, lights, hi-lift?? /forums/images/graemlins/1zhelp.gif

judging by the interior (no offence --->) it doesn't look like you're going to use this to hard off road.

it's a cool sub though, cause when you don't have a vehicle everyone else's starts to look good.
