I cant wait to see this van at the "Nationals" this year. Meeting you and your helpers will also be a big bonus.
There where three different guys running those pipes in out club at one time.(we are taking a short ride in the way back machine). There girl friends all had a burn on the back of there calf from those pipes. They will last longer if you just run them unhooked for show. You will be lucky to get two years out of them hooked up. Sorry not trying to pee on your parade.....
........Wookee The helpers wont be coming, just me and the wife. I did run the exhaust from opposite sides and back behind the crossmember to try and control heat, I am sure onece I get on a long run they will turn gold towards the front. Not really an issue cuz the van is not a show piece. 2 yrs, did the others just rust away, turn colors or just tired of the burns. I actually have another set in the garage that have some shipping damage that Fed Ex was supposed to pick up but have not yet (30 days). After 30 days i doubt they are coming. If you decide you want to sell em let me know! Southbend sounds like a nice day trip.

You tape off one end of the pipe and pour the bottle in and shake it around then pour the excess out and wait for it to dry. It seems to work well. It has a funky name like floop or something like that. | | | Re: Purchased 1982 Chevy G-20 Shorty | Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 1,389 old hand | OP old hand Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 1,389 | If you are worried about bluing or turning gold, there is a coating made for bike pipes.
