Art & Inspiration My Very First Set of Smithy Mufflers......

...but they didn't go on Big Olds.

20 years ago I took off the oak handrail to the ba*****t stairs when I was moving in. Never felt the need to put it back up. A month or so ago I ran across it in the ba*****t and decided that it was time to put one back up BUT not that one. I called my pal Keith the owner of Keith's Muffler in Westland and asked him if he could make what I envisioned in my head. He's did the complete exhaust system on Big Olds and my Dad's '56 Olds. Does AWESOME work. This is what we came up with, all executed by Keith.









New carpeting coming soon

 

Talk about "LOUD PIPES"!!! Those look awesome...

 

Neat !!!! Tom (Tired Old Man)

Wow! Denise, when I saw the name of this thread and the author, I was like......huuunnnhhhhh??????
But now I see! Love the pinstriping. That is just so cool-way to go. Your house is looking great!
...But being a southener, I have to ask....what is with all the steps?? Do you have a cave under your house?
Just kiddin
Love it!

 

some chrome "lakes pipes" would sure make a nice hand rail too!

 

cool ... how does it sound ?

 

Only you could have thought of that,very cool.
Oh! Does it shoot cookies out the end?

 

Keith had a set of lakepipes on his shop wall and we discussed using one but the other would have gone to waste. He did incorporate 3 chromed lake pipe hangers as part of the attachment to the wall though.

Only in your dreams

 

Now that's pretty sweet.

 

It's funny you should mention that as now I feel I need a new switchplate as the one that's right there by the handrail is pinstriped in blue and red and it really needs to be striped in turquoise and cream.

 

You're gonna keep on an' then it's gonna be like a Graceland tour.....get on the shuttle bus across the street....ride across.....put on the headphones an' press '1' Nice touch gal! Merry Christmas!!

 

Now that is thinking out of the box...
And Way Cool indeed.
