Bottom of the plane painted I used a spray gun but sent these pictures to my boy that owns the plane just to see if he would **** himself. Worked pretty good had him shaking in his boots. lol
 
New exhaust is here for my car Pypes did a great job on building it I am real happy with it so hope to install it after the plane is gone.

New exhaust from Pypes. Stainless and 3" down to 2 1/2" paid 550 shipped if I remember right. Very happy with it.
 
That doesn't sound to bad a price Fred, the ya-hooes down here told me $800 for 2" from the headers back and a couple mufflers. I said :icon_fU: .

I know car trend but gotta get this plane done so I can get my car out of hiding and finish it.
Looks like another 2 months on the plane still. I got to also put some red down on the plane and still have the wings and tail fins to paint.
