i had a issue with the coating because i must not of baked the ceramic on long enough because when I installed them the crap just started to turn yellow so i ffreaked and started scrubbin the stuff off..... they more of a dull look now which actually looks pretty good.

I SEE PICS! get some band clamps for your header cross over pipe. then U bolts clamps are crap.
10-15-2016
the one thats on their now is just a stronger ubolt style one and as for now i dont have any leaks so far buti know that wont last...... the 3 in on the downpipe are steel band clamps

I see the pics! One vote for tossing the heat holder-inner. Was out for a rip-snort in the '69 for awhile so I'm late to the victory party.
10-15-2016
what i dont like about them clamps are is they dent the pipes and make them hard to get apart and back together later on.

still have a ton of work to do to the underbody but i planned on removing what rust that i have under there and spraying the underbody with rubber undercoat. i did a test spot underneath and sprayed my wheelwells with the stuff and it seems to hold up pretty good. did it when i basicly bought the car 7 months ago and it still looks just as good as the day i did it

So i had today and tommorow off from work so its been a long day of painting as well as into tommorow. had to fit in shopping for food and picking the kids up from schol to i had to time everything so i could get **** put away, but make it so i can drap everything back out again. Its been alot of extra work but we live in a 3 story apartment complex so im lucky that the owners even let me do this here. They wont even let people change tires in the parking lot, but being that the main owner is a pontiac enthusiast he lets me do anything i want
Todays body painting progress.....
3rd coat on bumper and Rocker skirts... tommorow ill clean the trim edges up and ley down the 2 coats of the met black on the bottom of the bumper. paint came out pretty dang good for the rattle can job but it took wayyyyyyy more paint than i thought it would.
Front fenders and door panels. tommorow the fenders and door panels will get cleaned up and ready for clear coat. they came out great as well...
Gonna be another busy day tommorow so ill update again with that progress as well
