It looks sweet. What paint did you use? 
Glad to hear you got it all back together, the exhaust looks stunning!

Maiden voyage !!
Finally got to drive the Vette with Keisler TKO 600 and new 3 inch exhaust and I also found I had a cracked spring so I put in a VBP 330 lb spring.
The tranny shifted fine and no vibration up to about 50MPH so far. I think I'm gonna like that tranny. It sure seems like it has more power as I blipped it at 3000RPM and it just revs so much faster now. It is really loud with the Flowmaster DeltaFlow 40's and I am looking into putting on quieter mufflers, the first car I went by was a cop with his window down I though for sure he was going to come after me but he didn't, they are pretty good around here and I think they all know the car.
Also kinda funny was a Neon was right behind me and when I turned he was right on my tail and I thought he was pacing me and I thought can't that guy hear this car he doesn't really want to play around here does
he? Then I noticed he had his window down ( kinda cold out here today ) and was staying right on my bumper in the other lane to listen
Oh yeah I also painted the exhaust

It is a nice exhaust and that transmission will shift alot better in 500 miles. They seem to loosen up just right after this. They need that breakin period.
I hope we can get together this summer along with Carguy4sure and our friend Brian.
Maybe we can come to a cruise night and get together???
I intend to try and hit one in Orangeville too???? Hopefully the guys from Barrie will me us there????

Brian is a nice guy and very dedicated to his car. I enjoy his company and when his car was in my shop for the week getting his tremec installed we lay under his car for many pleasant hours working on it. I enjoyed the time.
Doug is the other fellow and a super nice guy too. I know you talked to him but not if you met him or not.
Two guys very close to me and both dedicated to working on their vets.
