mrbigtanker Posted September 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Getting rid of most of the Sheepy shit stuff that was done a few years back, Down pipe was made to tall and contacted the under hood. Brought it down 4" for clearance and I like smooth bore over the welded pipes. Not sure what direction to go with exhaust. probably cerakote it all as I don't want polished or chrome under the hood. 4 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted September 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr All tacked up. After that all stainless brake lines, and mount cab on chassis with doors only for now, and back to my house for upholstery and wiring. Other small things need to be done and will be hitting the home stretch. 6 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 They have a cerakote process for headers and downpipes where they spray the inside of the pipe with one ceramic, and the outside with a different kind of ceramic. It’s supposed to reduce temperatures by a good margin. 5 Quote Link to comment
