My dad and I were looking at exhaust kits, and he found that Magnaflow makes a complete kit from the manifolds back for a retail price of $700. I started browsing online for a deal and came across an eBay store selling them for $597 or to make an offer. So, I made an offer of $550.
The next morning, I received an email with their counter offer to my $550:
^^^Accurate to how I read that email.
I immediately accepted and paid, and then spent the rest of the day waiting to see what was going to happen. I fully expected to receive an email saying that the order was cancelled and they made a mistake. And I did receive an email:
I spent the last few days checking my tracking number while discussing with friends on what was going to actually show up in the box. I guess cardboard tubes. Someone else guessed a picture of the kit. Today, it arrived.
We managed to score a brand new, $700 Magnaflow exhaust system for $285 shipped to my door!

I think I mentioned on here once that my bro and I attempted to start to do this to a 64 Impala that he bought for a case of Mickey's Big Mouth We eventually got the stock I6 running but didn't do NEARLY the amount of work you have done. Hat's off to you for sure.

Now it is the tedious job of body filler, sanding, filler, sanding, some more sanding, and then sanding again. Then sending off to paint where more sanding will happen.
I love build threads. You're alright in my book, I dont care what says about you.

Cool, my bad... still kind of n00b status i guess. Must have been flexing in a truk thread, I'm rarely checking those out and i can't keep up with OT lately. It's cool to have added opinions of true enthusiasts and i enjoy build threads like this one and Melon's beemah restoration. Keep on keepin' on.

A rainy Sunday and waiting on parts gave me some down time to get the thread rolling.
Ha ha. That's one thing we have in common: I don't care, either.
Thanks. I had some spare GTO covers laying around and decided to play with them. As it turned out, the Turbo-Fire valve cover stickers fit perfectly after grinding the lettering away.

No update to the 64, but I did upgrade my tool storage. I took advantage of Black Friday and scooped up one of the Harbor Freight 44" boxes for $399. It had to be ordered and came in yesterday.
