Had some free time today to work on the truck. I got part of the exhaust system mocked yp. Used 409 stainless universal 2.5" kit for the pipe. Plan on using magnaflow polished stainless mufflers also.

Where did you source your exhaust piping, somewhere local or online? Ive been thinking of doing something similar.

I bought a universal Flowmaster stainless kit on ebay 2.5" stainless. Bought stainless hangers and turbo style clamps on ebay also.

I spent all day and evening at the body shop today. We got 3 coats of sealer and 3 coats of the Olympic white painted. On Monday we can start color sanding and get ready for last three coats then we can start on the red.

Re: 71 C10 6.0 LS ground up build
 
Thanks everyone it feels good to have some color on it. All of that sanding and blocking pays off in the end.

It's been awhile since I have updated the project. We got all the red sprayed and plan on cutting and polishing everything this week
If everything goes as planned reassembly should start next week!
