First Result waited too long till I remove the paint


I think I need to improve something

Roma

Today the middlepeaces arrived




I hope I find at the weekend a good procedure to paint the black areas

Today I finished painting the small parts.
Not perfect
I would even say not good
Maybe a 5 Footer
How do they do it in original

Roma

After I find my screwset , where are they , I know I had stored them somewhere, the reassembly can begin

Roma

Hi Roma,
If you don't want some more work...stop reading now!!!!




The black fiberglass insulators had a front-end and back-end. Yours have a top and side, but are open at the ends. There was a little piece fiberglass about 3/8" by a 1" in front and 3/8" by 2" in back that closed the openings.
Details!!!!

Hi

I'm jalous.
The yellow Vette comes good with this pipes.
Now you belong to the hard core coke bottle design destroyers.
That's what I keep on getting told by individuals that don't like side pipes.

Good that we don't listen to them.

Have fun. Günther

Don't know why the video looks so silly

Before:

And now

You can not realy hear a huge difference, but in real : Its so cooool

Sounds nice. I am not sure if its just the video or my speakers but to me it sounds like you hear the vibration or sound of of the covers like maybe they aren't tight. I have a 69 350/350 w/factor side pipes and don't hear it but like I said could be the video or my speakers.

Roma

Could be that it is the licence-plate , with the low vibration you here it a little bit . The coversare tight

WESCH

Hi

Roma, you know that when you push onto the right hand food pedal under the steering column, that this would speed up the engine and the noise level dramatically.
That's really what we would love to hear. The sidepipes at 4000 RPM.

Great looking car and so far , great sound. Keep the info coming.

Hi Günher,

you will hear it at the Corvette-Meeting in Speyer.

The VideoCamera was from my brother and its back now.

Have a nice Sunday

Frank
