Motorhead had posted saying he had gotten a virus on his puter after downloading the video file, others forum members said their downloads were fine.
It's
9:00 PM eastern time, I just downloaded the file and viewed the video, then ran McAfee Virus Scan with the latest virus definition file , No Viruses Detected, Not sure what's happening on your puter Motorhead.
I am glad all of you like the 3" sidepipe project we just completed, it's very rewarding to my son and I that you all like them so much, don't hesitate posting any questions or shooting me a PM.

I would love to go sidepipes but I have a complete exhaust system including mufflers and new tips for my 72 that came with the car when purchased. All of the parts are in the original boxes and I wouldnt know what to do with the exhaust openings in the rear if I converted. Your sidepipes look AWESOME!

Awesome ...
I hate using that "old" word Awesome, but I really respect the craftsmanship that went into that!! I just wish that someday my boys and I can have fun building a vette like the two of you!
Oh, and I love the color. My LS-5 is Ont Orange, still mostly old factory paint. But the color still hasn't "grown" on me after 4 years
SO, ... I might go with one of the blue colors for 71. And I like the look of your car.

Thanks for the compliments, it has been a great project for my son and I. The 71 vert will be in the family for many years to come. I have owned it since 74. My son and I have taken it for a few trips around the neighborhood, it is SWEET!!! driving it with the hardtop off and those sidepipes do rumble.
Great craftmanship, awesome looks and a rewarding father/son relationship!

Your sidepipes look great! It's almost sad you had to cover them up. Love the color too.
My dad and I are building my second Vette together now. Awsome experience that we're going to repeat again with his '37 Chevy Coupe.
