And I thought I and a friend did good putting 2-1/2 S/S Exhaust on the roadster in 2 days, About 10 hrs, From turning off the key, Until start-up with the new system. All tig welded and tips polished, comes out about 9 in in front of the rear tire, with Baloney cut on the pipe, Magnaflo Straight thru. s/s as well sounds super. Seem like I picked up some HP too. You make the rest of us look like snails in our garages. Keep up the good work.

If a buyer of mine wants a top I'll do it after the sale. The Nu Blue I sold a year and a half ago had 1 and I've talked to the owner recently, and he said he never uses it. Just takin up space in his garage. Differant strokes, differant folks.
