    Thanks guys! I'm still trying to decide what color to paint it. I'm leaning towards dark solid maroon or black. I'm interested in your thoughts.

    Congrats on making the magazine . I'd say maroon over black or both two toned.

    Huh? When did the magazine become "great"? Did they change something? Everything? Take the "Z's" out? Damn...I missed it.

    Hey, who cares if the mag sucks or is great...
    That's a huge compliment to get your car pictured in any magazine...
    I'd leave it steel...
    Since I suck at body work, I appreciate good clean sheet metal

    Thanks Malcolm,

    I really appreciate you checking out those posts as well as pointing that out!

    I made the headers myself out of stainless. I'll write a tech on that soon. It's hard to find the time when I'm not working. I'm a single dad of a 3 yr old daughter and she keeps me pretty busy!
