Got my hood all sanded down clean. I am no paint and body man, just need to get a coat of primer down.

off to the muffler shop next. I am looking for a quiet exhaust. These mufflers are referred to as the "gentlemen's" Flow's

I like the idea of a 'gentlemen' flowmaster. I think as we get older, the brash sound of a loud muffler is more annoying.

Having said that, there ARE moments when you feel like letting her rip! Do they make a crossover?

yep JP. plans are to install stereo equipment. But, as you said, a left/right exhaust song is good listening too! The H-pipe kit is a Summit item.

I followed the truck to the shop. That was the fastest it moved in years.

first thing was to pressure wash the bottom side. I will get some undercoat paint and do the wheel wells. Also need to find something to coat the inside of the filler-tube to the gas tank. It's looking a little rusty.
