Pretty neat. Nice to see some shiny stuff peeking at us now.

I'm fitting up a dual exhaust kit right now (without welding capability), so it's refreshing to watch you cut and fit as you like.

It looks like you have experience working with many types of materials, too. That always comes in handy.

Did you work in a GM St. Louis plant by any chance ?

Your fan,

Jim

Hey Jim, thanks for the comments. No on the St. Louis plant, worked in the Detroit area plants. Detroit Forge and Gear & Axle, I was an Environmental Engineer, so don't know a lot about the other stuff.......Jim
