Get a cheap paint job you’ll get the best of both worlds shiny today and in a couple years. It’ll be right in style.
I like it.
Yep, I found stainless 2” 90s, angle pieces for turn outs and flanges at Summit today, my son can weld that up and I’ll grind and polish them. I...
They don’t have to be rippled. I might just bend some up myself. Isn’t there a place that sells those flanges and caps? I actually bought some...
