Looks good! For plating it was common practice to use electroless nickle. Personally, I would go with full ceramic coating both inside and out. Probably cost a little more. Nice job.. -- Wayne DeLisle Sr. KR> exhaust system - nothing left but the tailpipe! Mark Langford ml at n56ml.com

A couple of things I've learned along the way are that mild steel will last a pretty good while, but when you wrap it with fiberglass, its life will be shortened, and if it cracks you won't be able to see it until it has the potential to do great harm. Jim Hill had glass insulation on his VW he
