I thought I had posted guess it didn't go through. Are you using mild steel pipes on this kit?

Yes. Plan to get everything dialed in with this setup then redo it in stainless.

I'm doing the exact same thing, going mild steel since its cheaper and I hear its easier to Weld, I'll be ceramic coating it and wrapping it as well.

Since I'm doing the welding I hope its not to difficult to do with a Hobart 140mig. What are your goals with the car?

i wanted black rims from the get go. the problem was finding the right black. i have flat black on my GTO and it looks good but not perfect.



so i went with 60% gloss and its PERFECT. ill get more pics today.
